[QUOTE="Brian, post: 246158, member: 17621"] The Nikon Df is the only DSLR available that can meter with pre-Ai lenses, features a flip-up Ai coupling and uncoupled meter. Basically, fold the Ai coupling out of the way, mount the lens, and dial in the F-Stop in use with the front dial. "True Nikon Engineering", the front dial is about where the focus is on a Nikon Rangefinder.
