Hi all,
I’m new to digital and saw that if the lens is not attached I can’t take photos with Nikon D3200. I’m wondering if I can take photos if I’d like to use a m42 Pentax lens with a Nikon F mount adapter? Will it sense the adapter or does it need electrical connection to be able to take photos?
I’ve to add that this m42 Pentax lens will be attached to a m42 bellows unit and the other end would attach to the Nikon dslr.
The reason for this is that I want to take shots of film negatives to have them in a digital format. I’ve read that I can’t focus to infinity but in this case it doesn’t matter.
Thanks!
