[QUOTE="aroy, post: 347987, member: 16090"] The only body which does both aperture priority and shutter priority with AIS lenses is the DF. The other bodies will meter in aperture priority mode only. In the D3xxx and D5xxx bodies you can use AIS lenses in purely manual mode only. I have a D3300 and use it with my 105mm AIS macro lense. On this body every thing is manual with AIS lenses - focus (of course), metering, flash. If you have used a flash in manual mode with film cameras, then you will not have any problems, all you have to do is to set the aperture for a given distance from a table usually printed on older non auto flash. Similarly if you are used to adjusting the exposures manually there will be no problems. In fact with digital you can afford to take a trial shot and adjust the exposure after checking the histogram with no penalty. I would suggest the D3300 rather than the D3200, as the sensor is sharper and the processor newer resulting in better high ISO noise, faster shooting and faster video - all worth the extra you pay for D3300 over D3200. The new 18-55 kit is also much better than the older one. On the other hand if you plan to shoot primarily with older AIS lenses (and there are a few which are irreplaceable - 50mmF1.32, 28mmF2.8 and some super telephotos), then think of getting the DF body.
