Can non-AI lenses be modified to fit the S1 ?
Hello from Maine,
I see that "non AI" lenses, the old lenses, can not be mounted to the S1 as it would break something. I wonder if a person could modify a non-AI lens, perhaps removing some material with a dremel, so it can fit on an S1. Thanks, Craig __________________

Yes modifications are possible! I use a Nikon D200 with an Ai'd Nikkor S 1,2 55 and Nikkor Q 2,8 135 lens, which are very(!) solid performers.
Mr John White can help you at : AI Conversions for Nikon Lenses: Effective, Fast and Affordable! Cheers, Sean. |

you will need a light meter, as the S1 will not meter with these lenses.
