[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 60102, member: 6548"] Hello Zanda...hopefully you'll get back on here and post again. To use an old 50 series E on a D7K works as follows...set the camera to M...you have to choose basically two things - aperture and shutterspeed (you can also work with your whitebalance but while first learning you probably need to be on auto whitebalance) So you choose the aperture by turning the ap ring on the lens...you choose the shutter speed with your menu...I am not certain but I believe the D7K has a menu where you can select a MF lens and it will be able to matrix meter...someone else will have to fill you in on that aspect...then of course you have to focus the thing when you make a shot... I use strictly old MF lenses mainly because that is all I have right now and my money goes to lots of other things beside camera gear nowadays...I enjoy using the old MF stuff because of it's build quality and I like the challenge of having to control the whole show...it is a hard row to hoe but a fulfilling one as well...
