Hi folks...

Anyone know how to get the above lens working with a D80 on anything else than F22?

If I set the apeture to owt else I get a lock-up with an error code of E33

TIA.

Andy :)
 
Andy, Andy's right!

You have to the leave the lens at F22 and rotate the front scroll wheel on the camera to change the aperture (if you're shooting in 'A' aperture priority - I can't remember how rotating the front scroll affects the other shooting modes).
 
After fiddling for a bit with other settings I found setting the ring on the lens body to F22 pre-fitting to the cam gave a result. any other F stop on or off the camera resulted in the above lock-up with error code. All other lenses are fine, so the half-split diagnosis points towards incompatibility or fault with the lens???

Caught your post after posting my reply above Dave.

I'll go try that out, Ta :)
 
Worked a treat guys, many thanks!

In Apeture Priority it works in all steps down to F1.8 using the front wheel (and alt wheel on the grip); The same was seen in Shutter Pri when using the back wheel(s) too...

I've been using my 18-50mm lens but fancied this one becaus of the apeture range for DOf

Thanks again...

Make sure you flip the wee switch down to lock the aperture ring at f/22, otherwise it'll just keep throwing up the fEE error ;)
