I'm trying to use a Fotodiox M42 to NEX adaptor with my Sony a7Sii.
I'm using an Asahi Super-Takumar 1:1.4 / 50mm lens from my (Honeywell!) Pentax Spotmatic.
I've watched a few a7Sii videos covering manual lenses and gone through all the menus.
I get very nice monitor images with peaking for focus assist and zebra for exposure assist.
I've got SteadyShot Adjust set to Manual and the Focal length set to 50.
But when I shoot an image (in M mode), the result is all black!
Hitting the C3 button gives the message "!LENS The lens is not attached correctly or is not supported".
I imagine that's to be expected with a manual lens. Also, I'm not surprised that the f-stop shows as "F--".
But I'm at a loss to figure out how to get an image that's other than all-black.
