not sure which way to proceed with my unusual setup.

What I have:
  • K-3 + Chinese painted aluminum adapter (no optics) + Nikkor 180mm f/2.8 (to be used for macro work)


What I want to do:
  • CIF macro shots


Tests so far:

With paint on adapter:
  • I can specify AF-S or AF-C.

  • Camera asks for focal length and I type in 180mm.

  • Exposes fine.

  • SR works too.

  • But CIF doesn't work (Use Aperture Ring and CIF is set to true in menu)

  • AF confirmation doesn't work either.


With paint removed from adapter (i.e. bare aluminum, i.e. pins are being shorted):
  • I CANNOT specify any AF mode: neither AF-S or AF-C.

  • AF confirmation works! (I can hear a beep and see the focus point blink in the VF)

  • Exposes fine.

  • CIF still doesn't work (Use Aperture Ring and CIF is set to true in menu)


Any ideas how to trick this puppy into allowing CIF for my given setup?
