[QUOTE="SkvLTD, post: 128116, member: 12855"] "[I][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]N[/SIZE][/FONT][/I][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][I]otes on digital cameras: [/I]Non-AI lenses must be converted before they can be used on any digital body (except the D40, D40X, D60, D3000, D3100, D5000 and D5100)...

From [URL="http://www.aiconversions.com/compatibilitytable.htm"]John White's site[/URL] who does AI conversions for a living. [SIZE=2][SIZE=2]Y[/SIZE]ou linked what looks to me like some DIY AI conversion hack[SIZE=2]. Cheap bodies I mentioned don't have the built-in focus motor screw nor AI-style metering system, [SIZE=2]both of which are solved in AI conversions to avoid damaging the connectors on D7000 and above level models.[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE] [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
