I'm looking for a good deal on a 50mm f1.4 or f1.8 lens for indoor portraits. I've been looking at Craigslist and eBay to see if I can find a good deal used. I'm having a hard time figuring out, though, what AI, AI-S and non-AI mean in terms of compatibility with my new D600. I'm ok with manual focus (the AF-S on my camera sometimes has a hard time during baby portrait sessions), but I want to make sure the lens will be compatible with my camera. What functionality do I lose by using an older lens? I used an OM-1 for years so I'm comfortable with manual controls, but if I'm going to lose some serious functionality beyond just the autofocus, I want to know! When I start using flash, will this cause any issues?
Or do I really need to get the newer AF or AF-S lenses?
