On the lens, set the aperture ring to f/22. Then, use the aperture control on the camera to control the aperture. That is how it's supposed to work on newer cameras. Setting it to f/22 on the lens enables the communication between lens and camera.

It works with a D300 & D50 as those are the body's I own , would not recommend a fixed F8 lense. Should have returned

I am reasonably sure that the 1.7 teleconverter will work with your 300mm f2.8 on your D800. I use mine on all of my Nikon cameras (D750, D7000 and D300) with my fast lenses (70-200 f2.8 and 200-400 f4.0) and autofocus works just fine.

Hi Bonnie. I alsoHave an Alpha A57. You need to release the lens recognition function. Press the menu button and then scroll to the right using the four direction button until you get to the first settings menu that has an icon like a cog. Use the same button to go down to the setting "release w/o lens". Press the centre of that same button to be able to select "enable". Your lens should then work.

It will only work in Manual mode only. all other modes require the connection to the lens to change f-stop and ISO.

Try going to the custom menu and turning on Shoot w/o Lens. The lens is manual and the camera cannot use automatic settings.

Your lens doesn't provide auto exposure...you need to use a higher f stop number i.e. if your f stop is set at f8, try f11 or f16. This cuts down on the amount of light going to your sensor, which is causing the overexposure.

I just received my D800 a couple weeks ago. Almost all my images are out of focus, even with simple portraits. I haven't contacted Nikon yet because I'm attempting to return the camera.

You have to change some camera settings. Search for "how to use manual focus lens on nex5"

Unfortunately not- there is no way to change aperture on this lens adapter.

I returned this camera but have a similar one (another brand) and I would feel sure that you canNOT change the lens.

I have the same problem with the exact camera and fisheye lens. I still don't have a solution for my problem, I can't even get it to fit.

If you have certain lenses the focus ring pulls forward and back to enable Manual focus - if you can see a distance scale on the lens , you are in MF. And you might think AF doesn't work - just push the focus ring forward to get into AF

Sorry I can't help you on this. I have A D800, and it works as advertised. Try calling Nikon technical help, their number is on their website.

You can use it but it will be as a DX lense which is cropped. Use the 28-300mm FX equivalent which is designed for the D800.I have both lenses and I use the 18-300mm lense on my Nikon 3200. IMHO, The 28-300mm FX lense takes the same quality picture as the 18-300mm DX lense.I have a D600 Nikon which cna work in both DX and FX mode. If you are going to spend that kind of money on a lense, then get the FX lenses ... period!
