[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 651397, member: 10543"] My brother recently sent me our Dad's Nikkor 35mm f/2 lens from the mid-1970s. It's in excellent shape and I coupled it onto my D5100 with perfect success. I'm uncertain if other camera brands allow this kind of lens adaptation that spans generations, but bless Nikon for making it possible and without any fuss. Focus and aperture are manual with no electronic indication. Shutter speed is adjustable and shows in the viewfinder; ISO remained fixed at 100. I took most shots at 1/125th Sec. at f/5.6, but found myself bracketing depending on the result. Images are extremely sharp. It was a lot of fun and it took me back to my Kodachrome days, although even back then I had match-needle light metering! Here are some of my shots from this afternoon with heavy overcast.
