Question:

Using older nikon lens on d70s?

I have a nikon n6006 with a nice 80-200D lens.

I know it will fit on the D70s. But what are the differences I'll notice when using those old lenses on a digital camera.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The biggest differences between the older lenses and the newer are that the G lenses do not have the aperture ring, they "provide distance info for flash and ambient light exposure processes," plus they actually focus the image slightly differently in order to match the size of the APS-size sensor Nikon uses. With the older lenses not designed specifically for digital cameras, supposedly there is a "slight" amount of fall-off due to the way they focus light onto the sensor as opposed to the film plane. I have not noticed anything w/ my lens.

I have the 80-200 f2.8 ed if-s and used to use it on my D100 and now use it on my D200 w/ fantastic results! You should be able to utilize all the functionality of your lens w/ your D70s.

Lastly, remember that there is a 1.5X magnification w/ your digital body. So, an 80-200 will seem more like a 120-300. Oops....almost forgot that many/most of the newer Nikon lenses include vibration reduction.
