Nikon question...

I've mounted the Sigma Mini-Wide 2.8/28 to the Nikon F with no problems.
The lens however, doesn't have the cute rabbit ears on it. If I'm setting
everything manually as for shutter speed and aperture, is there going to
be a problem? Seems like Chris (Seymore) said it won't meter this way...

I was hoping to run a roll of Sensia 100 slide film through it, but thought I'd
better ask before loading the film. Was going to shoot today but weather is
horizontal rain (high winds) thunder and lightning....crap.

It will work just fine in manual mode, and there will be no metering

The "other" Chris is correct. The bod uses the ears to know where the lens is stopped down to to meter correctly.


Chris, I'm alittle suprised that you didn't suggest glueing on one of those Nikon "rabbit-ears" to his lens, so the lens will meter with his F camera. Wink
