The D5000 & D5100 will only recognize non-CPU lenses on the M (manual) setting and there is no light meter function at all. I will be using the chipped T-mount for a microscope adaptor and it will allow the arpeture priority setting to function.
The D5100 has a great articulating LCD, which is most useful, too bad the pro nikons don't have this feature;~(

JK,
re: I dont know
Is this an effort to confuse the reader?
Cameras like the D300/5000 do not have any Ai coupling, unlike D1/2/3/4 and others.

Hi Gilbert,
No i have not used a D5000/5100 or ever had hands on one so it is a genuine "I dont know at all".

Found a chip for $30 that can be glued to any Nikon non CPU lens or adaptor like a Tamron Adaptall or a bellows. I'll update when my order arives.

That is very interesting.
That provides some new functionality that I havent seen offered before. Seems like a clever piece of electronics.

Please report on how you get on fitting it and also on how well it works for you.
