so,,, did you dial in the exposure prior to the shot? since the 5000 cannot meter this glass?

speaking of which, I was curious if Liveview is used, can you adjust the exposure based on the liveview, I know I use my D800 liveview in this way,, just looking at the dispaly of the liveview
to get exposure right,,, which gets me curious if the 5000 can do the same with old glass? which would then accomplish the exposure control by sight.

Do you mean can you look at the histogram while adjusting the aperture or the shutter speed in order to get the shot? Yes I think so...that is not how I do it though...I bracket shoot...can't stand burnt out stuff...background or otherwise...

Earlier today ole Pissed and Broke was talking about me having to take 5 minutes per shot fiddling with my controls...you wouldn't believe how fast I am at setting up ANY given shot with the D5000 and a manual lens...my eyes are a good enough light meter because of the bracketing feature and plus they can see the histogram and my brain knows how to read it...I guess I am not 100% manual and I bet Daniel knows exactly what I mean... :)

Stopping down after you have focused wide open is the crucial thing and yes you need to know about where the exposure is going to be.

IMO this picture is overexposed a bit.

Riddle just put his finger on one of the downsides of using MF lenses on the new bodies - the viewfinder coverage is inadequate and a lot of times you get chopped off stuff because what you see in the viewfinder is not what you get in the snap. I hate it! Give me a 100% what you see is what you get viewfinder dang it!

excellent description of your passion to use a camera as good and comfortable as the D5000. you're right, is overexposed a bit, but still, I like, thanks Eye-Level!

I love this shot. It's beautifully composed. The softened background is genius. It shapes the viewers thoughts and at the same time draws the now romanticised eye to the gorgeous model.
Beautiful shot. Very impressed.
