Unfortunately, Nikon dropped the aperture simulator on its all non-pro
bodies, including the cheaper DSLRs (D100,D70). So you can mount a
lens on D100 or D70 with an aperture ring, but you won't get any
metering. For that, you would have to buy the expensive pro DSLRs (D1
D2). Or hack the lens adding the chip with contacts, then it works.
There is not even a "green button" solution, so there Pentax is
better.
Good light!
