In Reply to: Almost off topic- Anyone own a Nikon D100 camera? posted by mosin on August 6, 2005 at 10:13:41:
Image included to stay on topic - Nikon D1 and Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 micro lensThis probably ought to go to Shutterbug Strasse ( where *any* post would be welcome these days). The D100 can take older Nikon F mount lenses back to, but not including pre-AI lenses. But - it won't TTL meter with them without manually stopping the aperture down. That is one of the reasons I acquired a used D1 instead of a D100. Aside from the lower pixel count, which doesn't mean anything unless you're trying to print bigger than 8X10, it's a much more versatile and robust camera than the D100. I have a good assortment of older manual focus lenses that work great with it. The classic old Nikkor 55mm f3.5 micro with a D1 makes a killer setup for closeups of audio gear, album covers, etc.
Follow Ups:
used Nikkor-micro 55mm 2.8 lens to go with a new used F3 body that replaces a much loved FE2. I use digital but will always prefer slide film... and use a scanner to convert if needed.
Music, art and photography 'must' be processed on the same side of the brain?
coincidentally, i also bought an F3 with the 55/2.8 micro-nikkor. great camera and lens. my 1963 F photomic is still working, too.
Thanks. You went to the point of the question for me because I have over a dozen manual focus lenses. Most are AI, but a few are IC. Fortunately, I know how to convert them to AI. :)
