Don't sell the MF lens that really matter to you. Just slowly start to
add the AF lens. Then one day you will wake up and ether sell all of
the manule gear or just pare it down to a good back up system.

I recently bought an SB-22s, and did a test roll with Nikon N50, 35-80

the hot-shoe, or, on the Stroboframe flash-bracket with SC-17. All in the
TTL mode. While the subjects have been

This is a little off topic, but just to clarify- focussing at f2.8 and

I was once "with my back against the wall" in a museum,
and out of desperation used my 50mm f/1.8 together
with both the TC-16A and PK-11A to minimize the MFD.
Metering was done manually, using an incident meter

with 1.5 stops and for the PK-11A
