Not Jerry, but since it has no motor in the body, it can't auto focus with most AF lenses out there unless they have a motor in the lens. It will , however, meter with any AF lens
It will neither meter nor af on the d5100 (same for d5000, which I have). On the d7000 they meter and the body can record the aperture.

I'm debating getting a Nikon d5100 or a Canon T3i. My Dad, who used to shoot architecture professionally using Nikons (pre DSLR) has a lot of old lenses he might give me. He does not have any old Canon lenses. How useful would these old lenses be? How easy are they to use on a Nikon d5100? How is the crop factor effected and how easy is it to guess what the frame of the picture is actually going to be? So I guess I am really asking, all other things being equal, should my choice of a new DSLR be weighed toward the Nikon just because I have access to old lenses?
