I have a N70, and I recently bought a T-adapter to work with my telescope and an old manual lens (400mm f5.6) When I tried to use the lens last weekend, the meter didn't seem to work properly. The lens is ALL manual, I liked the fact that the in-focus indicator worked, but when I put the camera in either "A" or "M" I got an outlandish shutter speed, like the N70 theought the lens was a f1.2 or something... The f reading was just "---". Is there a way to tell the N70 that the lens has a manual aperature ring that I have to close down... I had my roomate give me a meter reading off his camera to get the shot. The lens is really a piece of junk, I just use it when I need a record of something, the pic's really look awful, but for the immediate future I don't have an option (money). Additionally, when I do get enough cash to go buying, is there a decent 400mm/500m lens out there (AF or MF) that won't cost me an arm and a leg to get. My camera budget isn't all that big, but I need something in this range. I'd like to stay in the nikor family, but that doesn't seem economically feasible.. I've thought of getting a teleconverter for the 70-300, but I've heard the teleconverters aren't a good Idea on 200-300mm zooms... Any recommendation/suggestions?
