Should do, and it'll be fully functional (except for focus) if you put it on the A setting.

Ok I might be thick. Already have it and when I put it on I get a flashing F--- on the screen.

Is the aperture ring set to A?

Ah didn't look at that. Will check it when I get back.

Also make sure Enable Aperture Ring is on in your cameras menu

This is only required when using lenses that have no 'A' setting on the aperture ring.

If the lens used has the 'A' setting and you prefer setting the aperture on the camera body, there is no need to enable this custom setting.

If you use the lens's aperture ring to set the aperture, and this custom setting is not enabled, the shutter will not fire.
