Hanimex 28mm f2.8 question? - DPChallenge Forums

I was digging through my uncles old box of stuff, and came across an old film nikkormat, and it has a nice hanimex 28mm f2.8 on it. I was wondering if this lens would work on something like my d5000? I'm not at home to try it out, it will be a week before I get back but thought it would fun to use this lens. I know it would be all manual focus but what the hell, it would still be fun

I did dig through google for a while before posting this and still can't find an answer :-(

I believe it will mount, but I'm not certain of that. If you can successfully mount it, it will work. I'm not sure about the optical quality on that one.

We are at a camera shop right now, they mounted it on a used d5000 and it kept saying no lens attached. Oh well, it was worth a try

The camera wouldn't fire with the lens mounted? It shouldn't matter to the camera.

ETA:
From this page:
One aspect of lenses that doesn't get mentioned much with the D5000 is an intriguing one: you can mount any Nikkor on it. That's right, any, as in pre-AI lenses can be put on this camera and used without damaging it. Of course you'll be metering and focusing manually, but the presence of Live View can make focusing easier.

I'll have to try again when I get back home. Maybe if I turn switch to manual mode in camera
