Thanks for all the great advice. I'll hold off buying an AF lens since it seems that most agree that although it works as a manual lens the feel of it is awkward and for me, one of the major points of using a manual camera is that is feels comfortable.

I'll take a look at the old 75-150mm f3.5 Series E.

I was hoping for something with a higher zoom (around 200mm to 300mm). Are there any/ does anyone recommend any good manual lens that can reach this far?

I was also wondering if anyone who lived in the Los Angeles / Pasadena area knew of any good camera shops which sold used lenses. It seems that its a good idea to actually try out a used manual lens before purchase, although people have told me that FEH is fairly reliable.

Hi, My Dad recently gave me his old Nikon FM camera and I'm looking

to buy a zoom lens for the camera. I've been told that most the

Auto Focus zoom lenses (minus the G-series) work fine on the FM body

and since manual lenses seem hard to find I started looking at the

new AF zoom lenses.

So far the lens that I've been considering is the Nikkor 70-300/4-

5.6D ED

I figure the ED lens is one of the main reasons why the lens is

kinda pricy and I was just wondering if the ED lens has any use /

effect on my FM camera or is it something only the newer AF cameras

take advantage of.

I'm also open to any suggestions to other zoom lenses I should

consider.

Thanks
