Hi all- Just got a silver DF yesterday. I have all these wonderful F mount lenses, including a 17-35/2.8 I bought from Jack a while ago, but have not had a body for therm in almost a year! Believe it or not, I was planning on getting my Kodak 14x repaired but decided to wake up to the 21st century. Pics on this forum and general comments here convinced me to try the DF, and I like what I am seeing so far a lot. BTW, my silver nikkor 45/2.8 never looked so at home! So, the question... I have 2 Zeiss ZF1 lenses, the 35/2 and (my favorite) 50/2 macro. I know they are not CPU like the newer ones, but does the DF see them as "AI" lenses? I thought not, but when I call them "AI" in the menu, and I leave the meter tag down, I find it meters perfectly using the aperture ring to set F stop. I can't change aperture with the control dial. I am happy using the ring, and happy with the images. I just don't want to risk damaging anything. And I'd rather not have to set F on both the ring and the camera as I have to calling the lenses "non AI". Can you clear this up fort me please? Thanks.....Peter
