[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 127790, member: 10543"] The best advice I read on this topic was that you can use the old lenses, but you probaly won't want to because of their lack of auto metering and auto focus. I inherited a number of very nice 1970-era Nikkor lenses from my Dad when he passed away and found that while they were fun to play with, they were time-consuming to use and I didn't often carry them. I kept his 55mm Macro and enjoy it very much, but sold the rest. If you do sell, many earlier-era Nikkor lenses are highly desirable and bring excellent money. All of mine had been converted to AI by Nikon and that seemed to greatly help their resale value. [/QUOTE]
