What a great day! I'll be posting some photos from yesterday soon.
I really enjoyed meeting you, Warren and Eric - now I gotta figure out how to get back to SF to do it all over again ;-)
That was a LOT of fun. I hope you can come back soon, Steve.
Martin, I really like this picture. Thanks for taking it and for posting it here.

By the way, Martin, I hope this doesn't sound too weird, but I really enjoy watching you handle a camera (that D50 and manual focus/manual exposure Nikon Series E zoom). You are so familiar with it. Who needs auto anything anyway!
I don't remember what the other lens was that you were using.
--Warren
The other lens I was using is the Nikon 18-55mm zoom lens that came with the D50. The lens easy to carry in a jacket pocket and not very expensive. I've tried more than ten different lenses on the D50 and the 75-150mm series E and the 18-55mm are the easiest to carry. The other lens I use often is the 70-210mm AF Nikkor zoom.
I think it would be very interesting to use a D40/D40x with old non-ai Nikkor lenses. This is what TedM has been doing a lot of lately.

I've used a few non-AI Nikkors on the D50. They will work with a little modification: the back of the aperture ring needs to be filed down. One of the sharper lenses to use is the 105mm. On the D50 and D40s the meter will not work so you need to do a test exposure.
Yeah, I'm used to having no metering on the D100 when using my ai/ais lenses on it. I do test exposures and use the histogram and blinking highlights displays to determine exposure.
In fact, I bought a 105mm ai specifically to use with the D100 because I didn't want to modify my non-ai 105mm Nikkor.
--WT
Ah yes, a camera geek amongst camera geeks. I am among my own people!
Ditto, Eric - I enjoyed that discussion. Almost makes me want to defect to Nikon ;-) ;-)
