You don't really need any specific menu settings to work the lens, other than allowing your camera to release the shutter without a lens attached - obviously the lens will in fact be attached, but ...

I've been out and about with this lens over the last couple of days, and have been having lots of fun with it. It's not super-sharp, of course, but it captures a decent amount of detail for what ...
