[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 669733, member: 10543"] I enjoy messing around with my old mid-70s Nikkor lenses on my D5100 (my sole camera). Rather than make my self crazy with calculating settings, I start with something typical like 1/125 @ f/8, check the result and make incremental changes if needed. The only thing that disappoints is focusing. Distant scenic shots work out fine with tack-sharp focus, but close-ups are blurred because I have yet to precisely set my D5100's eyepiece focus. I'm actually not sure how to accomplish this with my aging eyes, other than trial-and-error. Is there a better way? [/QUOTE]
