Hey .

I have a D90, and i just got my hands on a Auto Vivitar wide-angle 28mm 1:2,5 (no: 2223xxxx).

The thing is, i cant get anything in focus. I have no adapter, it fit without.
Anybody know something about it ?

Thanks .

    Just making sure ... but its a manual focus lense right?

    It is manual focus only. So if you are trying to autofocus it won't work. If it isn't focusing at all throughout the range it might have other issues.

    Is it a nikon mount or a T2 in which case you need a cheap adaptor from e bay ..you will have to use it in M mode and remember 28mm is not very wide on a D90 DX model.

    You can make the Manual mode a bit more auto by setting the auto iso to 100 to 1600 as this will give you some range of acceptale exposure over 4 stops

    4 stops with a D90 is pushing it a bit I fear, maybe 3 stops would be better. Sound idea though.
    Always learning.

    Sorry , i was travling .

    I know it is manual focus, i think the mount is wrong, it fit but it dont focus no metter how far i focus. It will focus but only 10-15 cm from subject, like a micro lens.
    Hmm iso 1600 on a D90 dont look good , im only into iso 100-800 .

    What adapter do i need ? And how do i find out what mount is on the lens right now, it is blank so i have no info .

    Sorry for late reply
