Chris:
I sent a PC-Nikkor 28mm f3.5 to Rolland Elliott in August.  Nr. Elliott sent
an email promising return of the lens the following week.  I still do not
have it back.  Mr. Ellicott has not and is not returning email messages.
After a certified letter, he said I would have the lens within a week.  That
was two weeks ago.  Mr. Elliott cashed my check shortly after receipt in
August.  I recommend avoiding Mr. Elliott and "Nikon AI Conversions".

Non AI lenses will not function on a D2x/s or D2h/s, D200. At least that's
what I see in my manual. My AI lenses work fine on my D bodies. There's a
menu function that allows you to set manually the widest aperture setting in
the D2h/D2x. I have it set for 1.8 for my 105mm.

They will not meter with the D100/D70/D50. You can get the lens converted
with a CPU but not sure how much that costs.

My 105/1.8 is great on a digital.

Chris
