You must make some adjustment to your ISO. if you use this lens indoor on D50 u must a tripod to avoid camera shake, and you can use lower speed. or you set your camera`s ISO to the higher. just experiment first. try not to stopped down the lens as this will give your photo vignetting...dark edges. its really trick to use but once you get the hang of it it`ll be a doddle to use...you've got to be patient otherwise switch to Nikkor Fishye lens or Tamron or Sigma.

Ths worked fine with the meter on my Pentax, but you could try simply adjusting the exposure compensation.

I received my D800 today and I have the identical issue. Nikon technical support does not have a clue. It was interesting to note that, when I got the DSLR department, I asked specifically for someone familiar with the D800. The individual who took my call replied that he could help. My read on that is that all of the tech support people are all knowing on all of the DSLRs?

I can not answer the question directly, but I would suggest the party go to the Nikon web site and try topull up the Reference Manual for this camera. There is a section called "Easy Auto Mode" that may addressthis issue. It is to detailed for me to included it in this response.

I have had the same exact problem with indoor and low light pictures. It's the ourtcome of ther slow focusing zoom. I wish I had not made this purchase. Very disappointing as I have owned Nikon Coolpixs in the past.

I have a Nikon d3100 and I had a lot of problems setting the f number,you have to try to set it before you take off the lens and attach the tube. poor quality too. my advice? save up and get the ones that can auto focus (around 50 bucks), or buy this and try it out

You have to take the camera out of Automatic mode. You can only use the lens in manual mode.

Have the same problem as well...didn't have it with D700 or D300. Really not pleased given this is a $3K camera. Really lowers the pleasure of using this camera - may have to return.

I was so glad to see this question here! I have a D50 also and was a bit confused too after reading other descriptions of this lens.

Mine only decreased approx. 1/2 stop of light. Using Nikon D3200 body with Rikenon 50mm 1.7 lens. Quality was not 'degraded', thought images are a tad softer.

I think the 'shutter problem' can be traced to the lens or the settings, or a low light condition. Start adjusting the settings before you send it in for a new one. Also you need to change or recharge the battery occasionally.

Yes I have the same issue. There is nothing wrong with the lens. It is a third party lens and is totally manual. Flip your camera to manual mode and adjust your settings. The camera will fire is this mode.

Same problem. Thought I just got a defective camera. I exchanged it for the same model, same problem. I found that if I zoom even a little bit, the shadow goes away. Annoying, goodbye Lumix.

I corrected the problem on my camera. To do this, I went to MENU, selected SETUP (third menu on left), then went to page 2. Under LCD MODE, press the right MENU Toggle button. It is probably set to OFF. Set it on the next item down which is a sqare with an A and a star in it. That sets the LCD to the Auto light mode. That took care of my problem. Now when I take a flash it doesn't get dark. In looking at the photos on my computer, the photos looked ok. They weren't dark. It is just a LCD problem. That took care of it for me. Try that one time.

You have to make some changes on your camera for it to recognize the lens. The photos I took with it came out fuzzy and a lot of noise. It was because you have to use Manual Focus and I am not used to that so possibly why my photos didn't come out.

There's a small battery that goes into the bottom of the camera try getting a new battery (radio shack has them) and see if that works. Depending on what photography class you have depends on what lens you need but for my class I needed a 50mm lens

Had the same issue with a Nikon d5100, but after a few tries it was resolved. Check the following:1- for some reason, the lens didn't fit in with the camera, but after trying a couple of times it finally clicked into position2- there is a ring near the lens (the left part of the product picture) that must be slide out for the lens to autofocus. After you slide it you'll see the AF appear from under the ring, beore that there is only MF ( manual focus) visibleAfter these two the lens worked perfectlyHope it helps
