I'm fairly certain I already know the answer but I'm just looking for some confirmation. I know that using old manual focus lenses on Nikon DSLRs isn't recommended since they can't meter, but on the other hand, most new Nikon lenses will work fine on old film SLRs, correct? Will there be any performance differences / issues (not including autofocus capability for very old bodies)? And also, how would DX lenses perform on film SLRs — would FX lenses be the only viable option? I would be looking to get lenses that work well both on film and digital SLRs.
An aside, what would be a good, mechanical Nikon film SLR? Preferably metal-body and very durable.
Thanks.
