Someday I hope to get a D200 that will meter wit my MF Nikon lenses but for now I have to say I'm really sold on the Old technology D100.
Picked up a D100 about three months ago. about a month ago I took it with me when we made our first visit to Europe--6 countries in 15 days. The D100 performed flawlessly. I shot more than 700 raw images and edited out dupes and bad shots as I went. Virtually everything I broght back is worth printing, in my opinion. 6.1 megapixels may not be as good as the D200 but looks better to me that a good share of the color film I've shot over the past few years. A big bonus on the D100 was battery life. I took an extra battery and probably could have got by without recharging--but I did just to be on the safe side.
The only thing that could have been better is I shot most stuff with a 28-105 house brand lens that did a good job but just wasn't as wide as I needed for a lot of the narrow streets. Now I have a Nikkor 18-70mm zoom which would have been perfect on the trip. The D100 design may be pretty old now but it ain't a bad camera.

I have Nikon macrolens Nikkor 105mm f2.8 with Nikon D70 Body.

I just bought a Sigma EM- 140 DG ring flash (nikon mount). However I discovered that the flash does not connect to the macro lens. The flash comes with a standard 55 and 58mm adapter, which didn't fit as well.

Would anybody recommend which flash adapter I need and approximate cost, where to buy?

Much appreaciated it. I'm sorry if this question been posted before.

Thanks Rick. I don't expect many of the funtion will retain in the new device (Sorry if I am wrong), but basic modes works ? Is there a lead where to take a look how it looks like ? Thanks. this forum is most useful. - Kenneth

Hi Kenneth:

Yes. I chose a Canon rather than a Nikon specifically so that I could use my old Nikkor lenses on it. With a $20 adapter, the Canon gives manual and aperture-priority auto metering with all manual focus Nikkors including the old Non-AI ones from the 60s. There is also a more expensive lens adapter with a chip that activates the AF lights in the viewfinder to help you focus... that one costs about $80. I have one of each of these adapters, both work well and permit infinity focus.

In addition the the Canon, you can get Nikkor adapters to fit the Olympus E-volt DSLRs. I don't think there is one to fit the Pentax line, but I haven't really looked for one.

Bruce, refer to the post below yours. Make a good refernce. BTW, I am using a F3HP too. Kenneth, it is fine with your older MF Nikkor except for some entry level DSLRs.

Questions: Is there a way I can use a device to mount my Nikkor (manual) lenses onto the Canon or Pentax new digital SLRs? Undecided what system to follow since Nikon new digital provides very little compaibility now and make no differences. - Kenneth
