I'm given to understand, but don't know for certain that you can use them with the D100 but without the internal meter. I have only one Nikon AF lens which works in all 4 modes. I'll sell the whole lot when the D9 arrives. - -- Jim - http://www.hemenway.com Daniel Ridings wrote: > > A little off-topic, but here's my logic.
