  From the looks of the metering prong, you're trying to mount a pre-AI lens. And, I suspect your aperture ring, on that lens, is solid all the way around, right? If you try to mount pre-AI lenses on a digital body, you run the risk of doing damage to the body. AI and AIS lenses should be no problem.
  
  HTH...
