Hi Gerry

I've got a converted D70, although it is heading the way of many others with its CF card/bent pin issue and sticky rubber coating. I'm not sure that Adaptall lenses are the right way to go here, and I'm not sure they will give you the right quality you're after. The Nikon 18-55 kit lenses have a pretty reasonable reputation and can be found for about £55-80, so I'd be thinking about them first. This will also give you a much wider view than the 28-80, but less at the longer end of course. It'll depend which length is more important to you.

I have a D70 IR converted, the 18-70mm lens works well, no hotspots and is now very cheap. The 50mm d lens also works well and is very inexpensive.

I've used several on mine, but now have a kit 18-55 on it which works fine and was cheap
