Hi there - thanks for the helpful video. I picked up the F1.8D myself today. However, it seems far trickier to even get on the mount compared to other lenses. Did you find this when you first tried? I'm just nervous about making a very expensive mistake! Cheers.
At the beginning of the video you said you have to put it to f22 to shoot. Does that mean I can't use the other stops? For example if i'd like to have shallow DOF will I be able to move it to f1.8?

Does your 50mm f1.8 has a hotspot in the picture when shooting in a very bright light with f16 or more? Thanks.

you can use the 50mm f1.8 with the aperture ring unlocked if you are in manual mode or aperture priority mode, much more fun:)

@joyojundil I think i no what you mean on the 50mm you have a manual f/stop slider
you want to line up the number 22 with the dot on the lens and then lock it in with the slider lock just to the right

@HardflipXx hi you have to put it to f22 to use the lens with a dslr then you can change the setting as normal in cam
so you need to move the slider to f22 and then lock it in place with the button next to it :) i hope that helps thanks for the comment
