[QUOTE="nickt, post: 669421, member: 4923"] I think live view will work if you want to focus from there but it will be dark if your lens is stopped down. You can enter live view without a lens being mounted and even snap a totally blurry picture with no lens when in manual mode. It will pretty much be the same with an old lens, the camera won't know its there. You set shutter and iso and control the aperture on the lens. As for a light meter, you could also just snap a picture and check the histogram in the camera, then make an adjustment. [/QUOTE]
