I meant to inquire about this before, but forgot. JCO just jogged my memory. Can screw mount lenses be used on a Nikon digital camera with the screw mount to Nikon adapter? If not, I would think it would be a fairly simple matter to make the appropriate adapter. Perhaps we could get together and have a couple dozen made. I only have one of each, but I have most of the screw mount SMC Taks. They're probably better than the Nikon glass. Paul
