[QUOTE="Nialfb, post: 80928, member: 10997"] Hi Marcel. The lens has a manual aperture ring so I can set it to f/4. With the second reversed lens being so far from the camera vignetting is increased. I have tried moving the aperture lever but the aperture will not open any more than it does with the aperture ring set to f/4. I have a cunning plan ... while going through some old manual camera equipment I have found a Olympus f/1.8 50mm lens, 49mm thread I think, so I will get a coupling ring and try that. I have also bid on the 28mm f/2.8 lens which has a 52mm thread (the same as my existing lenses) so hopefully I'll win that as well. Anyway, if it doesn't work I will be the proud owner of a Sigma 28mm f/2.8 lens to fit a Minolta :D ... just need a Minolta camera then - EBAY!!! [/QUOTE]
