Thanks Brian for the information and the pictures were test pictures but wanted to share what I took with the assistance of the new to me lens.

As the SMC 1.4 50 doesn't have an 'A' setting on the aperture ring, you'll need to use the green button method: * Set the camera to manual * Set the aperture that you want * Press the green button and the camera will set the appropriate shutter speed. If you want exposure compensation, set a higher or lower shutter speed manually.
