So the $20 lens bins at the camera store are...Entertaining to me.
Also problematic.
So I picked up a Nikkor-Q 20cm f/4 manual lens from the early '70s and a Nikon 70-300 AF lens from probably the mid '90s.
After using them both pretty extensively yesterday, I'm pretty happy with them.
Here are a few from the 70-300:
For these, I mostly left the auto exposure on and, since it is a screw drive focus, I had to do that part manually.
As for the Nikkor, the guy at the store was convinced that it wouldn't work on my D40X. I explained to him that he was, in fact, incorrect. He tried to argue the point, so I grabbed a D40 off the shelf and showed him. His response was "Huh. Learn something new every day." Here are a few of the Nikkor Q:
These are all manual everything. Exposure, focus, shutter speed, everything.
I'm very happy with both of these. The 70-300 will probably go with the D70 or the N# 35mms that I have.
These were all taken with my D40X. In case there was any confusion about it.
