Found a Zeiss 135mm/f4 in the shed along with close up rings to suit a Practica. Thought I might have a play with this on the D70. Am told I need something called a 'T mount', does this sound right ? I assume I can use the D70 on manual to use the light meter but really don't have a clue. Should be a bit of fun finding out anyway.

If this is a proper Zeiss lens I would hang on to it. Makes a good portrait lens. You will need to use manual settings. I have a Zeiss 25mm lens fitted for the canon. Sharper than any Canon wide lens.
