Digital Flockiing cameras
A rant......about cameras not countries
Just spent an hour trying to get an old Manual lens to work on my new digital slr
I already own one digital slr and have had no problems.....however the system is different on this new model and the camera manual is as much use as a chocolate teapot
Maybe there is something lost in the translation or maybe it is me
Not long ago an expensive new camera nearly found itself in Moreton bay....luckily I have now got it working.

Re: Digital Flockiing cameras
With some DSLR's the focussing motor is in the camera body and in others it is in the lens. I have a Nikon D7000 with the motor in the body and I can autofocus with my older lenses but something like the D5100 can only use lenses with the motor in the lens if you want autofocus.
