[QUOTE="nzswift, post: 433367, member: 9707"] Right, I've done some research and the D3200 does not have a preview button so the 55mm can't use the stop down method. A solution for you would be to take a meter reading with your 50/1.8D lens at an aperture of say f16. Note the speed. Remove 50mm and replace with 55mm. Change to M mode and transfer the speed to the 3200 with the lens set at f16 and that should give you a good starting point for exposure settings. You'll probably need to up ISO or lower speed as you'll be closer [/QUOTE]
