Thanks, Bill. Weird. In the 140 page Nikon catalog ("Full Line Catalog,
Vol8) which arrived by mail this week, it says this about N80 metering -AI
lens compatibility":
"AI lenses provide manual focus w/electronic rangefinder, Aperture Priority
and Manual exposure mode, C/W and Spot Metering operation.
"
I looked at the N80 brochure from the LAST time I thought about this. It's
completely the opposite. It has "-' instead of a checkmark in all of the
cells corresponding metering with AI lenses. In the "Manual" mode column it
specifies, "7. Camera's built-in exposure meter does not work."
That's not funny.
