[QUOTE="stefan22, post: 304109, member: 18080"] hello fellow nikonite(s) ... I have a j2. recently bought a third party lens: a 35mm movie lens with a f1.6 aperture and aperture and focusing adjustments. I bought it for my sony a3000 and with that it works fine...with it being excellent in low light. so .. I bought a c mount adapter for the nikon with the intention of using it on that camera. the adapter fits just fine on the j2 and with the movie lens attached there is absolutely no play. I changed the settings (exposure and focusing) to manual (in creative mode) but I just can't get the camera/lens to work AS I BELIEVE IT SHOULD. I cannot focus on anything (achieve a focus) beyond 6 feet and when taking a picture in good light of something within 6 feet AND with the aperture fully open I need (in order to get a good/exposed correctly picture) to set the shutter speed to what I believe to be an unusally low setting..namely around 1/100 of a second. I would appreciate a step by step guide on how to precisely set up using a manual lens. I've a strong feeling that I'm doing something wrong. anticipated thanks [/QUOTE]
