I have a 50mm Nikkor-S and a 24mm Nikkor-N that have been AI'd and they are some of my very favorites. They have character. If the conversion is done right, you barely notice it. I'd say get them converted.

Loss of "authenticity" is important to a lens collector. It is trivial to a lens user.

So I have a lot of trouble focusing my manual focus lenses on my d200. Have you come up with any good solutions to that?

I bracket for focuss right now.

For anyone who regularly uses MF lenses the Katz Eye focussing screen is a worthwhile investment. I have installed one in my D200 and am very pleased.

I think that is the one I looked at. I will have to look again a little harder. Thanx

I think I am going to upgrade to the D300 and I should probably put one in that.
