I recently acquired a Nikon D70s from a friend who was moving and was tired of looking at it for like 20 bucks.
The problem with it is that the aperture arm sticks, so you have to "disable" the electronics in the lens and use manual aperture and focus.
Naturally, I don't want to do this with a good lens, so I was hoping that someone had an old 18-55 or similar laying around (possibly one that already has focusing issues) that they wouldn't mind parting with. Any old f-mount lens should do the trick just fine. If it's not AI, I can modify it to fit.
Basically, I'm using this camera in conjunction with a suction car mount to do a little drifting/general stupidity with. The idea being that, if it breaks, I'm not out a ton of money like if I'd used my D2X.
