There's also a custom function you have to set. If the lens doesn't have an 'A' position, the shutter won't release unless the function is set to permit the shutter release when using the aperture ring. From: Steve Larson Hi David, Thanks, but the shutter button doesn't even work. It's like

I like your disposable camera idea, John. It would be a lot cheaper than the Holga and would achieve the same result with the advantage of built-in flash. The only advantage of the Holga would be that they get to keep them, but in this digital age, realistically, how many would get used once
