My camera tells me that the shutter is blocked because it does not see a lens when I try this.
How can I avoid this?
1.Power off the camera
2.Change dial to "M" (very important)
3.Mount your lens
4.Power on camera.
Great! I tried it and it works for 100%.
I'm planning to use two lenses to acheive the macro effect, in the following order :
Sony Alpha 100 + Sony 18-70mm F3.5-5.6 + Reverse ring 55mm + Step down ring from 55mm to 49mm + Minolta 50mm MD f1.7
What do you think .. will it work?
Hmm. that is a definite first. Never tried that before, So I do not know. Once I get some time I will try it out and let you know.
YOur order on paper seems off.
YOu will need to mount a step down ring from 55mm to 49mm to your 18-70 and then a 49mm reverse ring to it and the MD lens.
MD lenses have a small vertical pin at the back protruding into the body. So it might be tricky with it sticking into your step down rin
