When I install the adapter, my V1 flashes lens error and doesn't work at all. Can anybody suggest a resolution?

Shoot in manual mode. With old Nikkor lenses you will need to focus manually with the lens barrel ring, set the f-stop on the lens, and use the flip handle control (upper right back of camera) to set the shutter speed. If the picture comes out too dark open the f-stop or lower the shutter speed until happy. If the lighting doesn't change you can shoot more shots without adjusting further. You can do bracketed shots by adjusting the f-stop up &/or down.

You have to use the "manual" setting on the camera when using the adapter. All other camera settings are non-operational. I don't know what kind of lens you are using with the adapter, but with a fixed f-stop lens, you have to change your iso setting in the camera to compensate for light conditions. Hope this helps!

I have a Nikon 1 J4. The lens adapter works with my non-autofocus Nikon film lenses only on the "Creative" mode setting on the camera and set for full manual aperture and shutter. Due to smaller sensor in camera, a 50 mm lens on film camera turns into @ 125 mm lens on the J4. Open lens to max, use slow shutter speed and focus on LCD. Take test shots to see how fast to set shutter or small to set aperture. It should work on your V1. Experiment and have fun.

Hello, this adapter doesn't work, it's a bad purchase, you should ask for a refund.

Try putting your camera in manual mode. AF doesn't work with this adapter, so use it as a manual focus.

This adapter does not work in auto mode you should do everything manually. put it on manual position

You have to put your camera on manual. This adapter doesn't connect to the camera the same way an already compatible lense would.

The flash is attached to the lens so you need to check yoir lens has internal spiral and check the lens diameter.the flash comes with a set of adapters for different lens sizes if the right size adaptor is there then it works

Nathan, I had to buy a ring adapter, it screws onto the end of your lens (58mm) then i bought the adapter ring that went from a 58mm down to a 52mm. Hope this helps.. the adapter ring is only a couple bucks plus shipping, if you go on ebay and watch u can pick then up for about $3-$4 and free shipping

I own a Sony NEX-5R and in the setup menu you have to go to "release w/o lens" and it must be set to 'enable'. That's how I got my adapter to work even though I don't own one like the version pictured. Good luck!

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.

I get it too.... Are you using the adapter for it or did you screw it directly to your camera? I came to the conclusion that using the adapter was the problem. I went to a camera store and tried a fisheye that actually fit my camera without an adapter, took a picture and it didn't have a shadow.

Hi Kenneth, I am so sorry, but I don't know. Perhaps it might be good to enter your camera model in a search bar followed by eyepiece extender. I apologize if my response is very basic, but I'm hoping it might help.

Hello - I bought this adapter thinking it would fit those lenses - and it didn't. I have both the 50mm f/1.8 and the 28 mm f/2.8 - both didn't fit b/c there's a metal stub at the bottom that does not allow it to mount on the adapter. The only lens I had that fit was the 75-150mm lens.I wouldn't buy it.

I just received these for my birthday from my sister and the macro lens does not fit my 20-50mm lens for my NX1000 and I did not receive an adapter with this package. What do I need to do to get either the right size macro lenses or an adapter so they work?

The tolerances are very small on these; they are tight. Are you sure you are applying enough force? Additionally, are you sure you don't have M42 screw mount lenses? This adapter will not work with those lenses.

I have the T2i and it works perfect,once you screw on the adapter and place the flash on the lense.

Aaron D. Locke has nailed it - get an adapter. They have some here on Amazon that are available with Prime. Be sure to read the reviews. BTW, I use my husband's old FD lenses from his AE-1 on my micro 4/3 camera, and I'm enjoying them greatly. http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-PRO-Lens-Mount-Adapter/dp/B003EB0AXY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1332972669&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.com/Opteka-Manual-Adapter-Optical-Elements/dp/B001KM5K98/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1332972709&sr=1-3

I have used the adaptor with 50mm f/1.2, 85mm, 35mm, 16-35mm,24-70mm, 100mm, 70-200mm and 100-400mm and it didn't make any noise. The problem could be you're having a defected adaptor or damaged lens contacts. In general, the adaptor works perfectly well.

Thank you very much for your thorough explanation of this issue. I've been struggling with it since purchasing the camera and had been thinking of returning it. I will follow your recommendations re: purchasing the filter & adapter.

Theres a ring that comes off. Its been a while since ive used mine but you may need to screw on ring to lens first then add the lens adapter. Or try with out the ring? Also it only fitd on my kit lens. Check thread size

When I went from AE-1 to Digital Rebel, I was not able to use the old lenses. When I went from the Rebel to the mirrorless, I'm able to use the lenses with the adapter.
