        Yes I do.  The F5's meter is much better, and it's AF is a
        bit better, but other than that the F4's just as capable in
        my opinion.

        Yeah.  That's the thing I like about it.  It was released when
        Nikon really wasn't sure if pros would switch to autofocus
        so they made it to work well with the manual lenses.

        You lose shutter-priority and program exposure modes
        with any MF lens.  Matrix metering works with AI-S lenses
        but not with non-AI lenses.  I don't know about AI lenses,
        the only one I have left is a 50mm/f1.4 and I don't use it
        much.  I've never had it on the F4.

        A bit.


        > BTW: How do you rate the f/2.5 105mm AI(S) ???

        It's like Mary Poppins -- practically perfect in every way.
