Mixing Digital & Analogue Nikon Bodies - Thoughts please

[Red.5ive.Oh]

Background

I have a short term requirement (2 to 3 months) to have a both film and digital DX crop Nikon SLR bodies in my gadget bag.

Reason:

I want to compare my current digital IR mono set up with a similar analogue IR set up (take same the shot on both set ups)

Why now?

1. IR film is still on the market (not my favourite Kodak HIE – shame)
2. Film bodies appear to have almost no value typically F55/F65 = £30
3. Clearly there should be a difference – I just want to decide for myself which method gives a more pleasing result for a given scene.
4. The results might make a thread here if anybody is interested

Limitations:

I realise that my DX crop lenses will not throw an image to cover the whole 35mm film frame but for this exercise if I compare a DX cropped image on both systems I’ll get the same FOV and very similar image.

Question:

Given that my current lens collection is mostly ‘G’ (no aperture ring) which / will any of the late film bodies’ work with my current lenses and are there any bodies I should avoid / look out for?

(If the analogue solution isn't noticeably better, then film body goes back on flea bay when initial film purchase is finished)

Some how missed that section of that site while trawling the net over the last few days. I've now got some useful pointers and I can start searching flea bay in anger.
