New guy here, What am I missing trying to use my old Series E lens? I am using the "M" setting but I am not getting any image.
Thanks
Randy

You may be able to go somewhere in the menus and find a place where you can enter in the non CPU lens information and then you will be able to matrix meter with the lens.
Make sure you have it mounted properly too.
That simply isn't possible, there is no metering available using non cpu lenses, the camera will have the be set to the M setting, as all other modes, the shutter release will not function, the electronic rangefinder will work with lenses with an aperture larger than f5.6 but the metering will not work no matter how you try, you may find a hand held meter useful, and can be pick up off eBay pretty cheaply, I still have my old Weston master 2 in my gadget bag.
You are right I just checked the specs on the 3200 and it will not meter with the old lenses no way no how (unless you chip it maybe) but you can still use them.
