D70-compatible lenses, SB-20 compatibility?

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital,rec.photo.digital.slr-systems (More info?)

I'm seriously thinking of replacing my Nikon N90 body with a D70.



Anyone have any experience or pointers on D70-compatibility for my lenses
and flash?



Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8

Nikon AF Nikkor 70-210mm 1:4-5.6 D

Nikon AF Nikkor 35-80mm 1:4-5.6 D



Nikon SB-20 Speedlight



(apologies if all of the above is in a recent thread I missed!)



Thanks,

Gary

Yeah, I second that. I have a SB23, which works, but there's no auto exposure
control. I have to use AP, look at the result, then adjust the aperture to
change the exposure if necessary.

Just a reminder (without wisihing to open up that debate again) about the
conversion factor which will make these lenses seem longer than they were with
the N90.

e.g. the 50mm on the D70 will give the same field of view as a 75mm on the N90.

This is because the sensor on the D70 is smaller than one frame of a 35mm film.
