Hi, can any1 tell me whether D90 support nikon manual lenses not? I hv lot of manual lens...

 

[kriegsketten]

Well....if i'm not wrong... the shot I've posted earlier was taken with it... I wished I remembered the EV setting... I know I used 3... second was 0 EV and last was +1 EV... First one.. not sure it was -1 or -0.3mm...

Needs more experiementations, peeps... But I think it helps in keep the dynamic range up a bit...

You have to state which lens... If I'm not wrong AIS lenses, you can't meter...

Sure, onz lah!

If I'm not wrong AF-I lens might still work... precursor of AF-S lenses... Tank-built, only a few versions made...

Ooops, forgot you're refering to manual lenses... AF-I doesn't count.

Hi, can any1 tell me whether D90 support nikon manual lenses not? I hv lot of manual lens...

depends what you mean by 'support'.
If you mean can mount and shoot, then yes... a lot of the old manual lenses are still use-able with the D90.

But for a lot of them, you have no metering function, so it's a bit of hit and miss with regards to exposure.
But with instant feedback and histogram, should be quite ok la. I would be confident to get a decent shot within 4 or 5 attempts.

edit: You have A LOT of old lenses??? ;p
maybe you should come out and join us next time... let us try-try the lenses to see if they work or not.

 

[ZerocoolAstra]

Urm... just make sure they are fungus and dust free...

that goes without saying

Can mount and shoot in M mode only, but without metering function and AF

 

[ZerocoolAstra]

Did you test it out with AIS 50mm f/1.2? ;p WIDE OPEN aperture... yum....

I've seen that lens... I've held it in my hands, but not mounted to shoot ;p
the bokeh looks delicious, but I can't swallow the price.... ~cough cough~

at the last D90 outing, someone was asking about tilt-shift lenses and how they worked...

Well, I found a fairly concise explanation about the shifting part HERE.
Tilt is generally used to manipulate depth of field. For archi photography, it's not used if I'm not mistaken.

I didn't noe there is such a thing that can attached to the camera.

Hmm.. isn't that troublesome?:think:

I think the lens is specially made this way.

ask Kit whether troublesome... wait he test whether your head harder or his gearhead harder :bsmilie:
it's a specialized lens. You use it only when the situation calls for it.

Kit is a specialist architecture photographer.

My manual lenses as below:-

Nikkor D 135mm/F2.8
Nikkor D 50mm/1.4
Nikkor D 105mm/F2.8
Nikkor 20mm/F3.5
Nikon ED 70-180mm/F4.5-5.6
Micro Nikkor 200mm/F4 ED IF
Ziess for Nikon 60mm/2.8

oh my goodness....!
That's a nice set...
Are you sure they're all manual lenses?
for example, 50/1.4 is the AF-D version?
That one not only can meter, also can auto-focus with D90...

but anyway I can't be sure just by reading what you've typed... Have not swallowed the entire Nikon lens line-up yet.

 

[xrium]

Yealor,...that's what I thought too... I think those are AF-D lenses which D90 has NO problem with...

200mm Micro somore... that's a killer Micro lense if I'm not wrong ED and IF?

Only ED lens is autofocus, others is not. Using for my FM2, F3Hp and F90x
