[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 322380, member: 12496"] The D7000 supports non-CPU lenses (see menu, manual page 159). I have a very old Nikon 55mm f/3.5 macro lens, modified to AI. It provides an old M2 extension tube to get 1:1. The lens alone works fine on a D300 or D800 (not AF, but it meters OK), but when I add the M2 tube, I lose ability to set an aperture with the dial on the camera, it won't budge off of f/3.5. However, the DOF button will stop it down OK. I'm thinking the tube might be shorting an electrical contact or something? Because if I instead substitute a Kenko extension tube, then it all works OK, and camera A or M mode can work OK (can meter). Probably your newer PK-13 is superior in that way, I'm guessing it works and meters OK too. [/QUOTE]
