[QUOTE="pAth77, post: 36216, member: 8088"] Sorry to revive an old thread, but I needed a bit of clarification after what I was told by the guy at my local camera shop. I'm currently shooting Leicas, and I have no experience with any other manufacturer. I've recently decided to pick up a new system, and after doing my research I decided that I prefer Nikon over the other brands that are out there. I pretty much have my sights set on the D300s so I went in to my local shop today so that I could see how it felt in my hands. After fiddling with it for about 5 minutes I pretty much fell in love. One of the reasons why I'm leaning towards Nikon is the fact that their D lenses have an aperture ring, and that's something that I'm comfortable with since I've only shot with Leica lenses. I also love the retro look that it has compared to the G lenses (that also explains my love for Leica). The salesman at the shop, however, told me that although I could still use the D lenses on the D300s, it would not be functional and the aperture would essentially be locked wide open. At least that's what I remember him saying...so I'm hoping to get some confirmation that what he said (or what I heard) was incorrect. [/QUOTE]
