The Lensbaby Composer does not have any electrical contacts to tell your Nikon there is a lens attached. You need to put your camera in Manual mode and set the aperture, shutter and focus manually. Note that some cameras will not allow you to even shoot manually if there is not a compatible lens attached.
It is a manual focus lens. That is for sure. The D7000 only can meter, when a lens is fitted with a chip. Usually the Nikon AF lenses. (other brands like Sigma that are compatible) To my knowledge the Vivitar is not. You only can use this lens in Aperture-priority and manual exposure. See a discussion on Nikon forum about this lens, that is capable of shooting brilliant pictures. Link to Nikon cafe forum about Vivitar 85 mm
Correct. The Lensbaby lacks the electronics to communicate with the camera. You have to switch the camera to manual mode and set the shutter speed yourself, without any help from the camera's light meter.
The Lensbaby does not have any electronics to communicate with the camera. You need to set the camera to Manual exposure mode and shoot without any of the benefits of electronics (autofocus, aperture control, exposure metering, etc).
The Lensbaby does not incorporate any electronic circuitry. Without any, the lens cannot communicate with the camera. That is what the F-- message indicates. Without the communications, the camera cannot meter the exposure since it doesn't know what aperture the lens is set to.
Your lens is on properly. You just can't meter through it. You can use a separate light meter, meter through a different lens, or simply shoot and adjust the exposure by looking at the result and the histogram.
mounts are probably too high.....had the same prob on a .22 rifle with high mounts for open site shooting also. i bought a lower mount and zeroed it in with no prob
Hello Pittsburgh! I lived there for 3 years! Dreadful city. :-)
Now, your lens must have a problem with the guide rails/pins. If you dropped it or bumped it, you might have broken/damaged those guide rails. Another reason might be sand/grit in the zoom mechanism.
You may try stripping the lens slowly and see if you can identify the problem. Most lenses are easy to disassemble, you start from the rear mount area, take off screws, and parts one by one, and be organized (i.e., take photos for every step and don't mix the screws).
