[QUOTE="DraganDL, post: 279870, member: 18251"] Yeah, no harm indeed:). As for the "metering": your camera (D5200, just like my D5100) is not capable of (fully) using it's light meter if the attached lens is not equipped with the appropriate electronic system that "communicates" with the camera body (my other camera, the D7000, as well as many other Nikon cameras is capable of metering the light even with such lenses - so-called "non-CPU lenses"). However, it IS possible to meter the light if you turn on the "live view" mode (mirror goes up and you use a LCD display as a "rangefinder", just like with Olympus PEN)... But, I might be wrong - maybe you have a lens with a "chip" (if the lens has those 5 electro-contacts at it's rear end, just above the bayonet). Can you post the full designation of the lens?
