Old glass how many of you are using it?

Sep 8, 2010

One of the reasons I chose Nikon digital SLR was because of alll my old non A1 lenses that I had from my film days. I got them converted and to my surprise that are still wonderful and sharp as usual on the digital format. This might be a cheap way to get good glass without breaking the bank. Anyone using old glass?
