Hi All

i need a bit of help......

ive got a Canon EOS 1200D which is a great camera and user friendly.

the problem i have got is i bought a conversion ring so i can use some of my old lenses one of them being a Paragon 400mm, i use this for my OTT shots but it doesnt seem to focus properly. First of all its all manual which im ok with second of all i can focus on nearer things with no problem, what am i doing wrong and is there a fix i can do so its can focus on them?

many thanks for any help

If you are using it just for OTT shots, you should just be OK focusing to infinity, what F-stop are you using? For OTT shots I tend to use a higher f-stop and set the exposure bias to minus 1

sorry for taking so long to reply

dumb question what is the F-stop? is that the focal length? if so its set to 11.....

heres a pic of the settings.... its set on shutter priority Tv setting as i use that most:



cheers

F stop is basically the size of the hole in the camera that lets more or less light in
