I have got an old lens Helios 44-2 (58mm f/2 M42 mount) that I want to use for portraits on my Nikon D3100. I used an adapter (without optical element) to mount the lens. I want to really try this before going for more expensive non-cpu prime lenses.
In manual mode I can not select the aperture but only shutter speed and exposure. Moreover there is no option to specify non-cpu lens parameters.
The images turn out to be darker even at f/2 and out of focus.
I have read posts on using live view for focusing and tried that. It improves the focus a bit but not the brightness. Can someone suggest a well documented procedure for improving brightness and focus?
