[QUOTE="torgo, post: 4993, member: 909"] [FONT="Georgia"]The Nikon AF lenses will mount, auto-focus (one of the benefits of the D50 over more recent lower-end Nikon digital bodies - the auto-focus motor), and meter just fine with a D50. You'll need to use the little aperture lock to lock them down at their smallest aperture in order for the D50 to use them in any of the non-manual exposure modes, but other than that there shouldn't be anything you have to do to them. I would guess that the Sigma will work similarly, but Sigma's made many 400mm lenses, so finding exact info will require all the naming information on it. It's probably safe to bet that if it's an auto-focus lens, it'll work just fine.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
