Can the iris be manually adjusted at all? And if so, can you use this with an adapter on a camera that doesn't support auto iris?

No! Only the Focus can be manually adjusted. The "Iris" and or Aperture leaves are electronically controlled only..

Thank you for asking. Yes you can, but you will need to manually focus as there is no electronics in this adapter.

nope, nope, nope. You can use an autofocus lens on it....so long as you manually focus the lens.

Mechanically the adapter should mount the lens to the camera, however there will be no electrical connections and you will have to set the lens manually.

you need an adapter to custom fit to your particular camera, I've only seen adapters for iPhone 4's , not saying there aren't more available. You will have to research that aspect. It's a great unit for it's intended use.

Autofocus does not work with this adaptor. Use manual focus. It's like driving a stick shift car - once you learn, you will have more fun.

I was able to fit in my smaller eyepieces in the adapter. There is a knurled screw that will hold the eyepiece in place. I've also found that it isn't designed to be used as a primary focus adapter unless you have a low profile focuser. Has anyone been able to find any larger eyepieces that will fit in the adapter?

You could mount it with an adapter, however it did not work with Nikon D5000, even on complete manual settings. Resulting in fuzzy pictures. I still have it, as a useless accessory.

I use it with Blue Iris and it works great. Camera has some great features and I'll be buying more at some point.

TMP, I just tried this on my lens and got the same error. I have never needed to adjust aperture manually and would rather have the camera do this anyway. Your camera has an internal motor for auto aperture (AE) Your lens is a "D" lens (the G lens doesn't have a ring) which can be used on camera's that don't have a motor like the D40. You need to lock it, forget about it and just adjust aperture using the camera's wheel. See here, hope this helps? http://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2605/~/what-does-the-fee-or-f---error-message-displayed-on-an-slr-camera-mean%3F

I have not used or examined either that camera or that lens, but if the mount is type alpha then should the lens not fit the camera with no adaptor. I have covered the subject of convertors pretty thoroughly an past responses, and the general conclusion is that only an adaptor made or supported by either the lens or camera manufacturer is likely to work properly for most users.

Hello, If the adapter allows you to mount the lens to the camera it will work but, you may have to focus manually. I am not familiar with your camera model so, check the owners manual about whether or not it will be able to use autofocus. Great lens by the way. I really liked it when I had my Pentax.

Hi! you can use any FD to EOS adaptors. Of course you have to set the F/stop and focus yourself. Some of these adaptors work better than others. The adaptors from Fotodiox are much better made. They cost a little more but you will get no play with the lens on the adaptor. Hint, Mount the adaptor to the lens then the whole unit to the body. Make sure you have the index marks lined correctly or they lens or the adaptor will get stuck.. A little practice any they will be as sharp as the autofocus lenses...

The Lens is compatible with all Nikon cameras using the Nikon F mount lens system (most of their cameras)The iris may have to be used manually.

Yes, the adapter allows you to manually stop-down the lens as desired. The adapter is a great way to use your older lenses, which are still excellent lenses.

There is no electronic interface between lens and camera body when using the adapter so you need to shoot in manual mode to control aperture and shutter speed.
