the D2h/D2x. I have it set for 1.8 for my 105mm.


They will not meter with the D100/D70/D50. You can get the lens converted

with a CPU but not sure how much that costs. >>

Can't you much more cheaply get non-AI lenses converted just to AI, and then 
use them that way? (Forgot to suggest this in my last post!)
