[QUOTE="kaschiro, post: 271114, member: 21777"] I am a new owner of a 3100, it really takes great pictures. Yesterday I found I could not use my old af lens which worked on my d70. I was told by the Niconites that it would not work and to focus the lens manually or get a AF-S lens. I am a little short of change since buy the 3100. the lens I am using is a Tamoron 28-200 mm and it ran fine in the d70 in the AF mode. I shot a few shots and manually focus and the subjects were out of focus. I was using a spot focus so I switch to matrix and that seemed to work better, at least they were is focus, but not all shots. I think I am the right path. What other settings should I use to maintain focus and or am I on it and is that the best it going to get until I get a AF-S lens. Can some one clear me on what I can do in the meantime. Kas [/QUOTE]
