[QUOTE="ikorman, post: 458157, member: 39393"] I have stopped using my Nikon film SLRs a while ago, but want to play again, this time with digital SLR. My dilemma is 2-fold: 1. I lost my job recently so my budget is really low 2. I have a couple of lenses but they are older AF type So, I am trying to find a pre-owned DSLR that will be cheap and will take my lenses and use them without loosing important features such as metering and AF. Here is my lens line-up: AF Nikkor 24mm 2.8 AF Nikkor 50mm 1.8 Tamron AF SP 90mm 2.8 Tamron AF XR 28-200mm 3.8-5.6 (Yeah, I know, and I had it paired with a N80, what a crap!) I should note that the Nikkors aren't the D-variety, but I think the Tamrons are. Can someone recommend a vintage Nikon DSLR body that will do these lenses justice? I know about the multiplier, and I doubt I can afford anything that's full frame. If I just get to use the 24mm as 36mm length, I will be fine. Megapixels don't get me excited, so even 6MP is OK. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
