[QUOTE="jbsmyth, post: 347951, member: 30632"] Background info: I have manual prime lenses dating back to the film era, an AF Nikkor 35-105 zoom, as well as a 18-55mm AF-S 3.5-5.5 zoom lens. My only digital body currently is an old D50 from years ago, it has served me well but is long in the tooth. I have been researching different camera body options ( on a budget), have seen many recommendations for the D3200. However I have read that only the D200, D300 and higher end bodies can utilitze metering on AI/AI-S lenses. Some people said metering is not a big deal, they just look at the histogram and adjust. Should I look for a body that can meter with older lenses like the D200/D300, or get a more recent body like the D3200 which cannot meter with AIS lenses? I realize opinions will differ, I am interested to hear all sides. Should I keep my old manual lenses or get rid of them and look at getting AF-S lenses in the future? [/QUOTE]
