[QUOTE="hark, post: 312743, member: 13196"] If the lens doesn't have an aperture ring, then how will it be changed? I have an N90s, and although I've never tried a 'G' lens, the only way I could fathom it would work would be to use shutter priority. That *should* allow the aperture to be set by the camera. Some of the more expensive 35mm cameras WILL work with 'G' lenses, but I'm not sure that lens will be fully operational with an F80. Your camera store should be able to give you more info. Film and processing is an additional expense. And unless you have a Polaroid back or a handheld meter, you run the risk of exposure problems (if not using appropriate lenses made for 35mm)--and it becomes costly when you have exposure errors with film. A film camera is nice as a supplement to a DSLR, but in all honesty I've never used mine since having the DSLR. If you factor in the cost of film and processing, down the road a 35mm camera will become more expensive than saving for a DSLR. [/QUOTE]
