[QUOTE="Brian, post: 216226, member: 17621"] They are fine lenses- I suspect you have the AI or AIs version of the 200/4, which was a compact 5-element lens. The 50/1.2 is a very fast lens, and goes in the $400 range used. You need a DSLR with an AI coupling to meter with these lenses. Other Nikon DSLR's will work with the lens, but will not meter with them. The Nikon D200 is an example of a used camera that has AI coupling to work with the meter. The D5000 does not have Ai coupling, and the meter will not work with your lenses. You can use them manually with a handheld meter. I'd go for the D200.
