[QUOTE="Mediaman09, post: 60143, member: 9503"] Eye-level , thanks. Re the ol' lens, it indeed does seem to be a very high quality lens ; my greatest joy however is knowing who it came from! As to AIS or not, according to [URL="http://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5366/~/what-is-the-difference-between-an-ai-lens,-an-ai-s-lens,-and-non-ai-lens%3F"]this [/URL]reference, it would appear I have the AI lens, and not the AIS lens, but it's still pretty good nonetheless. As to the manual mode confusion, yes, correct, thata what I was trying to get at in my orignal post, ie [LIST] [*]legacy manual lens - set the aperture on the physical lens ring [*]modern lens-manual mode - set the aperature via the thumbwheel ( I finally found the reference in the user manual I was looking for).
