Thanks to all who helped me > figure out how to get the metering working for R lenses. I have ordered > three more Nikon mounts and will convert a few more lenses. Also ordered a > few Nikon lenses to fill in the gaps I have. Got the 10-24 and the 70-300. > The latter not the best but since I go beyond 70mm so rarely, (other than > Macro) I wanted light and not too expensive. It reviews fairly well out to > 200 and a bit worse to 300. Should get the stuff in about a week. > > That camera is a hard one to find. Not sure if they are selling like hot > cakes, if Nikon is just not geared up to large production, or if they held > them back because of some concerns about hot pixels that they have now > issued a firmware fix for. Everyone was out. Found one at a Ritz in > California near my father-in-law and since I know the manager from other > dealings, he arranged for me to get his only sample and the lenses. Ships > Monday or Tuesday. They are listed as out of stock on their web page. > Only > a few brick and mortar store have any left. > > Thanks again for all the moral support.
