I just received a Fotodiox Contax to Nex7 adapter and mounted a Contax 28mm F2.8 distagon lens. To my surprise, when I attempt focus magnification I get an error "invalid because lens not attached. attach the lens correctly".
Question, can you not use Focus Magnification? with non Sony glass? I never assumed this would be the case. I understand how the adapters work, in that you have to manually adjust the aperture. But since the camera can't get an aperture, is that why it won't allow magnification?
Added: I can't even fire the shutter, I get an error telling me to attach a lens. So I guess I call Fotodiox in the am
I am hoping there is a setting to get around this, if not, back to Sony Glass as my tired eyes need the magnification.
Thanks
Paul
