I'm starting to shop seriously for a Nikon DSLR. This forum has been very helpful, but I'm trying to get clear on something.
Since I already have a collection of very good Nikon lenses, many of them manual focus, I want to buy a camera that lets me use my old lenses (especially my 400mm for birds).
What I'm finding out on the forums (this and others) is that I should not even consider the D50 or D70, because they won't meter and because focusing manually is difficult for some reason. But evidently the D200 may let me use my manual lenses without trouble.
Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks ...
