Question: using manual lens on 7D?
Feb 11, 2016
I purchased a Sony Alpha mount manual focus Rokinon lens and when I mounted it on Maxxum 7D - the camera does not recognize that the lens is mounted. It says "No Lens Attached" on the LCD screen when I press the shutter and can't click the shutter.
It works fine on Sony SLT A-55 body.
I tried it on A350 and it doesn't work - the screen says: "Lens is not attached - Shutter is locked".
I searched but could not find a menu option on the 7D or A350 that allows "shutter without lens". I'm wondering if electronic communication between lens and 7D/A350 body is required.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
