Just doing some tests on the New AF-100 Camera, with the Fotodiox micro 4/3"-Nikon adapter and cant get enough light to see a usable image. The aperture was set on a Nikon D90 camera body, and then put onto the AF-100, But there is no light reaching the sensor it seems. Even if the ISO is set to 3200 we see an image but not usable at all.

Has anyone had this issue? When you turn off the Nikon does it close the F stop automatically?
Any tips hints on how to improve this.

If your adapter can not control the iris on modern nikon g lenses, you need a different adapter. If you look at the back of your lens you will see a small spring loaded pin. If you are desperate use this lens right now, you can use tape to hold the iris fully open.

I would also recommend getting some faster lenses. Look at eBay or craigslist for bargains on old nikon primes.
