Heck, I have even paid the 25 dollars to cut the metal to convert non AI to AI compatible mount. Once you have a camera that can meter the NON_CPU glass, you are in business. You do have to set the settings in the menu (you can program up to 9 manual lens glass). of course for the D AFS series (auto focus), no issue at all. my favorite the low cost old zooms -> 28-105,, sharper then the 24-120 but the 24-120 is a nice lens also. also, if you are looking at low cost  small zooms, then the best deal, best optics in my experience is the 28-70, 3.5-4.5 D..  This is a really nice solid little lens that includes a macro mode. These can be purchased often around 70 dollars, and the images are nice and sharp. One of the bargain gems.</blockquote>
