Thank you for a very informative site. I am an old (over 50's) film based photographer, who has found an Aladins cave full of cheap film in the NAFFI (Army Term for military shopping complex)/ I have a Nikon F601, bought cheap when the digital cameras started taking off in a big way. I am now moving onto purchasing a NEW D80 on special offer at the NAFFI with a 18 - 135 lens. My interest is in how many of my old lenses can I re-use, and daftest of all, I am trying to find out - will the new digital lens fit the old camera?

Thanks again for an interesting and informative site. Roger

Hi I picked up a used n2000 that seems to work great but I can not load film into the camera. The winding know will not move up to pop open the back. I have found a manual and read the directions, but the know seems to have some Damage to it and I am wondering if something is broken and that is why. If it is broken can you get it fixed fairly inexpensively??? I only paid like $8.00 for it but it would be nice if I could still use it. Thanks for your time... - Andrew

3) Micro Nikkor 85 mm F2.8D: All functions supported except autofocus and some exposure modes
4) Other AF Nikkor: All functions supported except 3D Color Matrix Metering II
5) AI-P Nikkor: All functions supported except 3D Color Matrix Metering II and autofocus
6) Non-CPU: Can be used in exposure mode M, but exposure meter does not function; electronic range finder can be used if maximum aperture is f/5.6 or faster Note: IX Nikkor lenses can not be used

I have a Nikon FG with the following lenses: Series E 50MM 1:1.8; Albinar 28MM 1:2.8 wide angle; Albinar 80-200MM 1:3.9 Zoom. I believe these are AI-S type lenses.

I am thinking about buying the new Nikon D40. My question is: Can I use my existing lenses with the D40? I understand that I will have to use manual focus. Is this possible? Practical? Any problems? - John

Thanks for an easy to understand good read for a very inexperienced man, just purchased a d200, and have an oversupply of manual lens "vintage type" so reading your web has given me a great deal of confidence,.. thank you.

I've been offered a camera model X286, but I am really new to photography and after just having my camera stolen I need a new one. What model is this? I haven't found it anywhere on the internet and I am kind of stuck as to how much I should offer this person.
