Old lenses, new camera

As an encouragement, a few shots taken with the (manual focus) Nikon Ai-S 1.4/35mm on a D500 last week (all at f/1.4):

What a unique lens draw, something special there. How do you keep it off the camera?

Nikkor 500mm f/8 mirror on my D7200.
Gives me the reach I need at a small fraction of the cost of a new AF lens.

a fraction of the quality, and 0% of the Auto Focus ability too!

The old lenses worked fine on the old film cameras. Depending on what you wish to accomplish they should work ok.

Since I cannot afford the $10,000 for a Nikon AF 500mm, that I use less than 1%of the time, I would gladly accept a donation of said lens.

alright everyone, pitch in your $500 -- and once we get to 20 people, we have a new "lens across America lens"
