H3D2 + CF Adapter + CF 180 : No Lens

[BlueLemon]

I have purchased a CF adapter for my H3D2-39 and have these CF lenses :

CF 50 mm
CFE 120 mm
CF 150 mm
CF 180 mm

However, I am not able to use the 180 on the camera. Display on camera brings up at screen to choose the lens whenever I attach the lens to the CF adapter. I then dial to CF 180 mm and push the save button.

But no exposures can be made with it - display shows "No Lens"

What is this ??

Any one who knows about this error ???

Cannot use my 180 on the H3D2

No problem with my 150 mm or 120 mm

Try to fool the camera and mention you are using a 150 lens.
What happens then?

When you press OK - (ISO/WB) Button, does the reference display under AF show CF or 180?

Display shows "No Lens - Exposure not possible", this is after pressing the shutter release button, does the camera/lens try to make an exposure and stop or does the above message appear immediately?

Is the lens a 180 CF or 180 CFE?

Have you seen a message "Lens cocking lever problem"?

I suggest databus contacts on front of the CF adapter, lint free cloth and a gentle wipe. Then inspect the contacts, are they all the same height?

Using the tip of an eraser from a pencil, gently depress each contact, it should return to it's previous position.

Will try this whenever I get back from photo classes tonight

If the other lenses work, then I would look to the 180 lens for issues ... namely check that the sync terminal works on the lens.
