nikonD90 + diana lomo adaptot + super wide lens

[artcy]

hello,

not sure if it's suitable to be posted here but I
managed to buy the Diana F+ lens adaptor for lomo recently. Attaching is preety ok but the lens shows up F-- on my dslr, does anyone have any idea what's wrong?

thanks!

There is no CPU chip on the lens so your camera is unable to detect the aperture; this is similar to mounting the AI/AIS lens on the D90.

try using manual mode. see if that works

 

[artcy]

manual should work fine... can do everything yourself, eg. metering.

how much is the adaptor anyway

 

[samtcy]

can someone post sample shots taken with this adaptor pls?
Thx

the adapter cost about 30+ and the lens 80+ (ruby)

Does this mean you do not need a Nikon F series to use the lens? Can it be fixed on a Nikon D5000 too?

 

[kaixiang]

Yes. It works on a D5000.

Sample pictures of the adaptor with its various lens, the diana effect is produced,just without noise and scratches.

I've tried a 38mm super-wide lens on a d700 and the results are not that good. Not as good as those taken with the real diana though. And the f-stop is fixed at f/22. The diana tone doesn't come out which really disappoints me.

What on earth 'Diana tone'? :dunno:

Aperture stuck at f/22?
