metal plate the flange is attached to, (they are generally held on by three tiny screws), if you
don't lose the screws you can simply reattach the flange when you want to sell them.

I have several older Vivitar lenses I'd like to try on the D. Problem is the flange that protects the aperture control lever on the rear side won't let them mount. Does anyone know of any downside to cutting this flange down to the size it is on newer lenses? It'll probably wreck the resale value but I'm really curious to see how they do on the digi.
