[QUOTE="busaf4, post: 669408, member: 44865"] I am getting back into SLR after 35 years and bought a D 3400 In using a manual lens made for film cameras I presume the following is the procedure. Please comment if I am correct or not Get light meter or light meter app for aperture, iso, speed settings Mount lens ( I have Nikon chart on compatible Nikon lens) Turn Camera to manual mode Set aperture ring to desired setting (EX 1.8) Manual program camera aperture setting to 1.8 (same as lens ring setting) Manual program set ISO Manual program set speed. Use view finder not LCD and turn lens to focus Also I have some ol Minolta lens from the 70's. I have seen adapters on Amazon with built in corrections lens. Do they work and is the performance reduced with the adapter I understand a 50mm lens in a full frame is equal to a 75mm view in a D3400 Appreciate any comments [/QUOTE]
