Re: Problem with FD lens


I managed to get the aperture working on my nFD 50/3.5 macro, by keeping the two pins pressed in and then turning the notch that\'s at the red dot clockwise (this is a bit awkard because you really need 3 hands for this unless you can keep both pins pressed in with two tools in one hand -- which I did). This way I\'m doing the same thing as an FD rear lenscap or body mount is doing (engaging the aperture).

It looks like you\'re doing it the wrong way round, Synthesist; the two pins must be pressed in and then the notch at the red dot is unlocked to move clockwise.
