Simple Question

[phillipb]

What would happen if I used a non-AI lens on the D70?

[Greg B]

You know the Ukranian Opposition leader - they suspect that this is what happened to his face, he used a non AI lens on a d70.


Or to put it another way, I don't know

[Glen]

Greg is right, don't do it, it may damage it

[phillipb]

I should have checked to see who was online before posting that question

As it happens, I tried exactly that over the weekend, with my 55mm Micro Nikkor from our Nokormat FTn.

Didn't fit, and didn't feel like it wanted to.

[phillipb]

Bummer .... There's a 50mm 1.4 non- AI going for about $12

You used to be able to get lenses converted to AI; do workshops still offer this process?

What about calling a local camera workshop and asking?

And what about converting the lens to Catholicism?

Lens reversal candidate Phillip?

[phillipb]

No Gary, that would turn the bokeh into halos

[phillipb]

Good Idea Onyx, I may get the non AI lens and swap the mount off my reversed lens.

[Glen]

Philip B, I have one here, cost me $45.

Gary, non AI to AI mods are still available, call Jack Merry 9416 1985 cost $49.50

Phillip,

With Glen's info on having the lens converted, that would be PP62 for the lens, complete with halos in lieu of boke, eh ?

[phillipb]

Tempting

[Glen]

Philip B, ring first to check the parts are available, not all are
