AF or Manual -And What Is Compatible With What?


I'm trying to decide between Nikon's N80 and their FM2N. I know that I want some quality Nikkor lenses, but don't have an unlimited budget to buy an array of AF lenses with f2.8 capability. My main question is whether or not manual Nikkor (AI or AIS type) lenses are compatible with the N80. I know most will physically attach to the N80 body (F type mount), but how do these manual lenses effect the metering capabilities of the N80. I've been told by some people I would need to use a hand held light meter to make this combination work. I should make it clear that I'm looking at buying some USED lenses (not factory fresh). Page twelve of the N80 product brochure should have some info, I just don't have access to one. Thanks.
