[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 26537, member: 6548"] Here is what I have learned...it would be good if someone could verify this information because I obtained it from surfing the net and you know how information goes on the net.... Basically if you have an old AIS MF lens (note the Series E lenses are "AIS" type lens because they have the notch however I am not completely sure they will meter on the bodies that follow) mounted on a d2 d3 d200 d300 d700 d7000 and maybe a few others you can get matrix metering and aperture value...anything else and no meter or other goodies...this is done via the non CPU lens selection...apparently none of the others eg D5000 will let you matrix meter. The 50/1.8 would become an effective 80mmish lens with a 1.6X crop factor...I bet it would shoot some darn good portraits! [/QUOTE]
