Hello all, I recently purchased the Sony A6000. So far, very nice camera, loving everything about it except for the relatively mediocre battery life. I am a little confused about the operation of the camera with legacy lenses, but I'd like to learn more. What I would like to do is be able to use one of Nikon's older AIS lenses, like the 55mm f/2.8 AIS Macro: http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-55mm-Micro-Nikkor-Lens/dp/B0000BVDZZ I understand that I will need an adaptor and that not all adaptors will electronically communicate. So, if I get the Metabones F-Mount Nikon adaptor, for example, will I be able to meter in aperture-priority mode, or will this be full manual? Will the camera at least be able to meter? Lastly, will I be adjusting the aperture via the on-lens aperture ring and the shutter speed via the camera itself?
