I put a cheap Vivitar 28/2.8 MF M type lens on the D this morning to see what the results would be. Though it's certainly not a sharp lens the results weren't as bad as I expected. Here's the wierd part:
1.) No matter what I focused on, the lighting, or how carefully I steadied the camera I NEVER GOT an "in focus" indicator on the D! 2.) The D's shutter WOULD FIRE no matter how in/out of focus the subject was OR where the focus mode switch on the D was set! Though this lens is certainly not a "keeper", it apperars normal as far as being a standard KM mount and seems to be sharp/contrasty enough to activate the in focus light. My usual experience with WA lenses on the D is that they will indicate in focus even when they're not. And the part about the shutter firing even when out of focus in AF-S or AF-C mode is really strange. I've tried matrix, spot and selective focus point, doesn't matter! Anyone else ever seen this? Only lens I've tried that behaves this way. Here's a sample from the 28: http://www.donsauction.com/PDML/Turtle.jpg Don
