Holy Crap! Just discovered that my ancient, circa early-70s, 105mm/2.5 Nikkor P-C lens will work on my latest Nikon, a digital mirrorless Z50.
Of course it’s all manual — focus, aperture, etc, but it works!
The 105mm/2.5 Nikkor lens was considered a classic in its time, the epitome of sharpness.
Man, I going to have fun playing with this . . .
Thank you to the Ken Rockwell website for pointing me in this direction.
And I have 1970s 24mm/2.8 and 50mm/1.4 manual Nikkors, too. Yoikes. Lenses that fast are expensive. Well, they were expensive back then, too.
Some say the Nikkors of film days are not as good as current ones for DSLRs, but hey, will mostly be playing with these near wide open anyway. . .
I put in a lot of babysitting hours and photo documentary jobs for community groups in my teens to upgrade to Nikon systems. . .
I started out in my teens with Mamiya and Pentax film cameras with 42mm screw-mount lenses. . .
