Does anyone have any experience of using manual focus Tamron lenses on a dSLR i.e. Nikon D80? I have 24mm, 35-70 and 85-210 Tamron Adaptall 2 lenses from my film days and would like to know if I could expect to get any use out of them on a Nikon D80. Specifically;
- Is a mount available that is designed for this purpose on these lenses?
- Is there a risk of damage to the camera body in using a mount on a manual lens on this camera?
- Would the exposure meter system work? I realise I would have to set aperture and focus manually.
- What would the effective focal length of the lenses be?
- Has anyone actually tried doing this?
I just don't like having to throw stuff out!!
Thanks for any info, that you may have to help me in this query.
Cheers
Stewart
