Hey all
I've decided to use my old Nikon N50 AF film camera for some prime focus moon photography.
I went down to Bintel this morning and bought myself a Nikon T-ring and t-adapter. I went home and connected this to the camera and it immediately came up with "ERR - CPU" in the display. This seems to indicate that the camera won't work AT ALL without a CPU (i.e. electronically-controlled a/focus) lens attached to it. I tried turning on the camera without anything at all attached and same deal.
So... I've heard of these Nikon N(F)50 AF cameras being used for prime-focus photography, i.e. sans lens..... so how do you do it? Does anyone know if there is a way to fool Nikon AF cameras into working, albeit without metering, without having an AF lens on?
Thanks for any replies!
Cheers
Chris
