p.2 #1 · Do third party AF lenses come with aperture ring on the lens?


Thank you. I didn't know that. It's very interesting. Any idea why Nikon did not put this option in all cameras? After all, it prevents low-end model users to use some of Nikon's old (and cheap) lenses. And they would be the natural target group for such lenses.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

My Nikon D 80 will not meter with the Zeiss lens, but my F6 will. I don't know why they do that. Maybe, to get you to buy the next camera up.

I shoot D700 I love small bodies as well, what they did was really annoying (used D40/x, D5000) so eventually I got a Sony NEX-7 to use MF lens... EVF on the NEX are better for focusing than those lower Nikon bodies (with tiny dim viewfinder) too.

Novoflex is the name of the german made adaptors
Thanks.

Exactly. Nikon could have sold you another camera but (because of stupid marketing managers?) they didn't.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.
