I am looking for some information regarding lens compatibility.
Im thinking of getting a Nikon D7000 with a third party (Sigma 17-50mm f 2.8) walk around lens to start with.
I have access to some lenses used on a Nikon N2000 film camera. I know that these will be manual focus. I expect that the Nikkor 50mm f1.8 will work as an auto exposure prime portrait. What Im hoping is that I can use the Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm f2.8-4.0 to get a feel for what I need in a second lens. Again, I know it will be manual focus and I strongly suspect manual aperture as well.
Can anybody give me some feedback on my hopes and expectations? Is there any chance that attempting to attach these lenses could damage the camera? They are 30 years old (more or less) but in near mint condition. I understand that the F mount goes back 50 years.
Any feedback gratefully received.
