[QUOTE="AC016, post: 83521, member: 9619"] You should be able to use the lens if it is AI, AI-S, E, AI-P. All these formats will be manual focus on your camera. Meter will not operate on any except AI-P. Going to the auto focus lenses, AF, AF-I, AF-S, G, VR and DX will work. For the AF lenses, distance info will not be there for TTL. Therefore, any PRE AI lens will not work and nor will F3AF. If your vivitar is pre AI, which it may well be, it will not work on your D70. I know that no one really likes KR, but i think this is a good write-up on the Vivitar lens: [url=http://www.kenrockwell.com/vivitar/70-210mm.htm]Vivitar 70-210mm Series 1[/url]. I have used a Vivitar AI lens on my D80 and it did just fine. Hope you can work it out. Remember to put your camera in M mode. [/QUOTE]
