[QUOTE="stefan22, post: 304598, member: 18080"] [b]j2 third party lens adapter problems[/b] I have posted this query and had no real answers..so I am trying again. I bought a 35mm f1.6 cinema c mount lens for use with my sony nex it came with an adapter (third party) and the combination works fine (up to a certain point). it's manual only with a working distance of (between) an arms length > infinity. enter the nikon j2 the same lens (called michael and of good quality) is available from the same seller (ebay) together with an adapter for the j2...?however? once fitted and the camera is set to manual mode (in the creative selector option) the lens will only give me a working focus of between 2-4 feet. anything beyond that is blurred and there is no infinity focusing (long distance) ability. additionally: I believe that the working shutter speeds are poor (low). when compared to the sony nex..when taking a picture in good light the sony will do so (correctly compose/expose a picture) with a much faster shutter speed .. perhaps 10x quicker I do (as it happens) have TWO j2 cameras. both are brand new and it is the same story with both of them. would someone tell me please what the exact settings (enacted) should be. would someone tell me please what I must PRECISELY do to adapt the camera to the lens with an idiot proof step by step guide. I do believe that I have set the camera up correctly but I cannot be sure as the lens does NOT work as (I believe) it should. so .. the combination won't focus beyond 4 feet and the needful shutter speed (to correctly expose/compose a picture) seems to be too low/slow. perhaps this is a common problem when using a third party adapter with a third party lens. my anticipated thanks for your guidance and insight [/QUOTE]
