No autofocus, either.  They're manual focus.  The B&H  press
release/information doesn't say whether or not they're AI or AIS.  It's hard
to read between the lines.  On one hand, these are Nikon F mounts, and F
takes non-AI lenses.  OTOH, these can readily be used on DSLRs, such as the
D2_.

What is this "1.5x magnification factor" that they're talking about?
