I looked a little more, and it looks like my beloved Vivitar (by Kiron) 70-150 zoom, and my Vivitar 28mm, will not work on the d3100 or d5100, or at least will not meter light. I would want it to. Looks like I need to find a used D7000 or maybe a D300/600/800 would work.

D600 or D800 is way out of my price range, even used. But a decent D300 could work in my budget, and I could use my old lenses the way I am used to, with light metering but manual everything else. This is the lens I am talking about: http://www.flickr.com/groups/365610@...7607712069059/ The push/pull 70-150 zoom. that along with an old fixed focus 28mm, which would probably be redundant once I get a newer automatic lens covering that range.
