[QUOTE="nickt, post: 657630, member: 4923"] I don't know these lenses but I wonder if you are manually opening the aperture with the lens aperture ring? It sounds like you are not doing this and the lens is stopped way down, limiting your light. You should not be needing such a high iso. Exposure compensation should not be a concern either since you cannot meter. Set say 1/60 shutter speed along with a 400 iso (auto iso turned off) and set your lens aperture with the ring to 2.8 (or the lowest you have), manually focus and snap a picture. You should certainly get some sort of image in room light. It won't be perfectly exposed, but it should not be all black. [/QUOTE]
