    D100 "iso auto" "auto iso" - does it really work ?

    I've been playing with my old D100 and it has a menu item to TURN ON iso-auto which is suppose to work in PSAM modes, all of them. There's no place to set a minimum shutter speed which ought to be a minimum requirement for this option. Searching the Internet and found that a few others, like...

    Tamron 46A 70-210mm w/ adaptall-2 for Nikon (D7100)

    My neighbor gave me this (inherited) 30 year old pristine lens a couple days ago and I like its results very much even though it will not win a sharpness contest with something more modern. It really lets me know how valuable AF is on a camera without a ground glass viewfinder screen...

    Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG - a nice surprise

    I have poor man's NAS and really am crazy about the useful and fun technology you can buy for next to nothing if you roll back a decade or two. This leads me to my latest 'deal of the century': For several weeks there's been a local on-line ad by someone selling a big box of Nikon stuff +...

    Anybody ever use that "L" lock for the big multi-button ?

    I hope somebody does. It never has helped me (due to my simple techniques I suppose).
