    No surprise, the lens has been mounted to an adaptor plate which basically makes it the same as using a body cap. The camera will actually work without a lens attached (which is what is happening). Mind you geting the aperture and shutter just right would be fun with out a light meter handy.

    Carlos, do a search on pin hole lenses for your camera. Something I've always wanted to play with but never got around to.

    When I fit my contact-less macro tubes I effectively have the same thing. The camera doesn't worry about adjusting the aperture and seemed to manage the shutter speed to correct the exposure. It just works.

    Cheers, Steve
