Actually the title of this thread is a little misleading; let me explain.....
I've used Nikon film cameras for years, in fact since before many (most?) of the members on here were born. I bought my F3 in 1981 and the FE in about 1976, most of the lenses I bought between points 1 and 2. In addition to the bodies I have a 28mm, a 50mm, a 135 and 200, all Nikkors and a 600mm Sigma Cat lens so it goes without saying that I'm a fan of the make and as all my lenses will fit any Nikon DSLR that's the way I'm thinking.
I phoned Nikon to ask about compatibility only to be told that the D5100 and D90 I'd been thinking of had meters that wouldn't work with those lenses and that the lowest priced body that would is the D7000 which takes the bill up to around the £1,000 mark.
I realise this model is quite new, but I was wondering if anyone has experience of it.
