[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 612670, member: 10543"] Keep in mind that your DX Format D3300 has a smaller sensor than the old film-era lenses were designed for. This does not prevent their use, but you'll be looking through a smaller field of view than you expect. As an example, when I couple my old film-era 50mm Nikkor to my D5100, I have to step much further back to gather the image I want. You'll likely need to manually make your settings, but this isn't a problem either, especially with the instant feedback allowed by a DSLR. You'll have some fun working with these lenses. [/QUOTE]
