Since the lens is now just mechanically - and not electronically - coupled you need to tell the camera body to allow shooting in this mode. This is done in the set-up menu and very well explained, starting at 4:50 in the "How-To: Sony Nex-6 and Using Lens Adapters!!" video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-PJguvrCTk. Go to the set-up menu and enable "shooting without lens". The video also shows you how to set up "focus peaking" to help manual focusing. This works really very well. Note that the body is not aware of the aperture, but still meters light through the lens and can still indicate that proper exposure is reached as you manually choose the [aperture, shutter speed, ISO] combination of your choice. The NEX-6 with the Fotodiox mount adapter and Nikon lenses is a superb combination I use all the time. Enjoy

Bad one. Should just work smoothly. You should not notice it - except having to focus manually. ;)

Try attaching the lens adapter to the lens before attaching it to the camera. I have kept mine on my Pentax 50mm lens to be apart of the lens itself.

There should be a groove in the lens where it mates to the case near the switch. Stick a coin in the groove and twist, the lens should pop off.

No, you need a lens adapter ring. Like this one: C Mount Lens Adapter Ring for NEX-5N NEX-5 NEX-3 NEX-7 Camera

This is compatible with A-Mount cameras. I believe the Nex-6 is e-mount. So you would have to get an A-mount to E-mount adapter. Be aware of the type of adapter you get if so you don't lose auto focus. Hope this helped you.

On my NEX6 is not working at all. Sending it back but not sure if this is camera or flash.

The adapter provides no electrical connection between the camera and the lens - the camera really thinks there's no lens attached! I have a Sony NEX-6, and I solved the problem (with help from another customer) by going to the camera's menu, selecting "Setup", then scrolling until I found "Release w/o Lens". Click on that option to enable it, and the camera will shoot. Of course, with the adapter there's no autofocus or aperture control - you have to do those on your own. But it works fine!

It worked on my NEX 6, but I had to set the camera to fire without lens because it did not recognize it as an attached lens. I also set the manual focus help to highlight the in focus areas. Otherwise it worked quite well.

This does not sound normal.i had a tokina 11-16 on a nex7 with adapter and worked fine.try checking the lens on another camera just to make sure the problem is consistent.

There's a little tab that locks the adapter onto the lens. You can see it engaging if you look while connecting the adapter to the lens. The first time I tried to connect, I bent the tab trying to force the adapter and the lens wouldn't lock. I had to bend the tab upward with pliers so it would engage the lens. It was all good news from there.

It's probably stuck, wedge a paper clip or small flat head screw driver in flash slot and wiggle it out gently. If this doesn't work send it back to Nikon, that part is under warranty.

I couldn't get a response from anyone on this topic so I just went ahead and bought the sel55210 lens a couple weeks ago. Like you said, it attaches with no problems, however, with my nex-3 it seems to work just fine. I can't say that I have used the camera all that much with the new lens so there could be some subtle problems that I haven't encountered yet but mine definitely does take pictures. It also doesn't seem to have any problems using any of the default shoot modes and it auto focuses just fine. Have you tried updating your camera's software? There might be something with the initial release of the software that doesn't allow this lens to work.

Hello hello Rmauma...! The Little push-button on the side... is working... like the release-button... on your camera... Push it In... and turn the lens... same way... as your normal lenses. If the button... or the adapter is stuck... Perhaps try... to twist the adapter... just a fraction... in both directions... while pressing... on the button. This can give the Little locking pin... enough room... to Work. Now take the lens... with the adapter... one hand on each... close your eyes... and let your hands Work... Hope this will help... Greetings... Jakob.

I no longer have these as I sold my Zeiss lenses but I did have the same problem and asked the same question and this is what I found out.....There is a very small (and unfortunately hard to see) flexible metal release....push on it and that will release the ring adapter so that you can unscrew it. Hope that helps.

I have a NEX-7 so guess they are similar. I have to go into the Drive mode in the Camera menu and set it to the IR commander mode. My guess is that you have to go into one of your camera's menus and program it to accept the IR Commander. Your user manual should tell you what you have to do. Or a nearby camera shop could also help. Hope this helped.

This mounts directly onto the camera like any lens would. The only other thing you need is a lens with an M42 mount. When using this (or any) lens adapter with the NEX, you will also need to change one setting on the camera. Go to "Setup" and find "Release w/o Lens". This will tell the NEX to allow the shutter to open when it doesn't detect the lens. Most lens converters are like this one and don't have any electronics. They simply allow you to put a lens over the sensor. Because of that, you need to tell the camera to allow you to do that - which is what that setting does. Hope that helps!

The manual says: "Insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot at one end of the light lens. Carefully pry the lens out." I would use a rag of some kind of padding between the lens and the housing when prying. Good luck!
