    I could start messing about with the backscene, but then I'm doing computer graphics rather than photography and model making and I'm keen to keep away from that unless I'm shooting a layout without a backscene when I have no choice. Otherwise I might as well turn the camera off, sell the layouts and and buy MS Trainsim or whatever that's called. I think sometimes we have to accept limitations or merging 3d with 2d?

     

    A non-AF lens cannot become an AF lens. AF is no good for this kind of photography anyway, so even if you do have AF you'll be turning it off. You'll be able to use old Nikkors (they'll need to be Ai converted - lots on Google about such - the mount goes back to 1959!) on the D70 and D40, the only other thing you won't have is metering, so just pop the camera in manual and take some test exposures using a small aperture with the camera well supported at the lowest ISO. Do not underetimate the D70, good technique and good glass is still the most important thing, though the chap in Dixons well not agree with me of course.

     

    My D70 is a noble warrior Chris and it has never let me down - yet :lol:

    Its just getting very auld and objects to the cold, rather like its owner.

    I'll probably keep it as a spare mind.

    All my Nikon len's are Ai's so that's nae an issue either.

    I'd just love the loot to get hold of a more modern Nikon really.

    Ooppps here comes the missus...................................................... :secret_mini:
