G'day fellow Alpha users, I have a problem, I bought a Samyang 85mm f1.4 manual lens to use on my A900. It worked OK until I installed the A900 software upgrade that David mentioned in his newsletter. Now when I use the lens, the camera says "no lens fitted", so what do I do now, anyone got any clues?.

Go through your menu items for camera set up. you're looking for a new setting added by the firmware called "release W/O lens". set it to yes and all should work. And also A mode will work as well

Thank you very much, your suggestion was spot on, I now have a fully functional 85mm f1.4 lens once again. You have made me a very happy chappy, thanks again, Tim.
