I nearly sold all my old Nikkor AI lenses (35/40 years old), but got such a miserable price quote for them at B&H I decided to keep them. Am I happy! They fit my Nikon D100/200, and except for auto focus they maintain all their functionality. They are "prime lenses" rather than zoom and I decided to test out their sharness, resolution ,etc. The attached photo is a sample.
Generally speaking, prime lenses are a little sharper than zooms, especially if you intent to enlarge big. The thing I really like about the old lenses is that they have the depth-of-field marks on the lens barrel which are generally not on autofocus lenses.
