p.1 #1 · manual lens on a DSLR


I'm selling a manual lens, and a prospective buyer has asked me a question.

The lens I'm selling is a Sigma 70 - 210 f2.8 APO manual lens that I've used on a Nikon film camera. The prospective buyer wants to put the lens on a camera he describes as follows: "Kodak DCS SLR/n. It's essentially an N80 body with Kodak electronics." Now here's his question:

Assuming that the lens mounts correctly on the camera, will the camera meter correctly with this manual lens? We understand that auto-focus won't work, and that he'll have to shoot in manual mode.

Please move this to the Nikon forum. You should get an answer there.

You'll have to use what's called "stop-down metering". Here's a basic tutorial:
