[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 73589, member: 10543"] I have a very old Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 Macro Lens with the M2 Ring that dates from the 70's. It mounts up fine on my D5100 and I guess it'd mount on the D3100 too. The lens offers no AF nor any Auto aperature with my D5100 -- it's all manual set all the way. However, with it set at f/32 and an exposure of about 30 Seconds, most shots are fine. Here's one of some small bolts removed from my truck and it's not been enlarged in any way: [ATTACH=CONFIG]15542._xfImport[/ATTACH] I don't mind the manual settings at all because with a DSLR I get instant feedback and it's not as if my subject matter is going to run off. :D This lens was my fathers and it has worn the years extremely well. I think it's very cool that Nikon hasn't obsoleted its lens mounting system and that 40 year old Nikkor lenses can still be used. [/QUOTE]
