[QUOTE="LensWork, post: 33264, member: 1283"] It has to do with the metering tab. The tab on the D7000 (as well as the [FONT=Arial]D700, D300, D200, D1, D2 and D3 series[/FONT]) cannot be flipped-up out of the way like it can on the F3, F4, FM/FE, etc. Attempting to mount a non-Ai lens on a D7000, [FONT=Arial]D700, D300, D200, D1, D2 and D3 series may break the tab off. The good news is that John White of [URL="http://aiconversions.com/index.html"]Ai Conversions[/URL] can convert non-Ai lenses for pretty cheap, and he does a good job. Here is his [URL="http://aiconversions.com/compatibilitytable.htm"]Compatibility Table[/URL]. [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
