Not necessarily, you'll just have to relearn the joys of stop down
metering. Setting the cameras mode to M and either pressing the AE-L
button or holding the DOF lever in, stops down the lens and takes a
meter reading. The former does it "semi-instantaneously " and sets the
shutter speed for you, the latter gives continuous readings but you'll
have to set the correct f-stop using he aperture ring or shutter speed
using the rear wheel. The first method is almost painless.
