People who uses one company's lens on another company's camera, with mount adapters, how do they resolve these issues?I honestly don't think it would do a good job. What would happen is the lens would sit further away from the sensor. That would pose additional problems and most likely alter the focal length of the lens. AF-D lenses can be used on bodies that lack the focus motor; however, it means having to manually focus.

Such adapters are basically a kludge. They function, but are clunky. Not only are the mechanics a nightmare, but if you move a lens away from the camera, you affect the focusing of the lens. The only way to alter that is to introduce glass into the adapter........... which usually degrades the image quality significantly.
That makes sense. But my current body is motorless ...I haven't tried out a mount adapter but suspect that including a motor into some type of adapter would take up much more room than an adapter that allows one brand of lens to be used on a different brand body. And that would mean the adapter would have more depth to it causing the lens to be further away from the sensor.
Personally I would prefer to see the camera bodies have the motors and the lenses to be made without them. Lenses tend to be kept longer than bodies, but it's one more thing that can malfunction.
Then you either use AF-S lenses (and/or their third-party equivalents), focus manually or upgrade to a more sophisticated camera body.But my current body is motorless ...
I'm OK to do manual focus and would be happy to invest on lens that will last longer than my current body, but I am still confused as to what's what... Are most af-d lens full frame?Then you either use AF-S lenses (and/or their third-party equivalents), focus manually or upgrade to a more sophisticated camera body.
Those are the options.

I see full frame lens as a worthy investment...
That's what I suspected. Thanks a lot for clarifyingALL AF-D lenses are FX.
