[QUOTE="AC016, post: 85712, member: 9619"] You should be able to use PRE-AI lenses on your D5100. With AI lenses, AI-S or E lenses, you will not be able to use the camera metering. You will only get metering (spot or center weighted) starting with AI-P. F3Af lenses will not work with your D5100 either. Only AF, AF-D, AF-I, AF-S, G, VR, and DX will work. With AF, no 3d matrix and not distance info. Older lenses are great to work with and since you are fine with manual focus, even better. Just check your manual for lens compatibility before you go and spend. Make sure what will work and the functional limitations of what will work. The D5100 will surely be around just like the D40's, D70's and D80's that you can find today. But, it will be replaced by next year. [/QUOTE]
