Re: [LRflex] digital body for R lensesThanks to everyone for the insights. It looks like I may have to part with $1K, more or less. I will ponder it.

It has fascinated me!

Although I own a high end Nikon digital body, I cannot bring myself to sell my R lenses, formerly used on R4, R8, and SL. The DMR is out of my league. Is there a low or mid-priced digital SLR that will do justice to these lenses? And that I can focus manually with not too much difficulty. (A focus confirmation aid would also be nice.) New or used. I would appreciate some suggestions. Thanks in advance...........Julian
