Not sure about nikon but if you want to use Contax / Leica lenses then you can consider buying a 2nd hand canon to complement your nikon system. Canon is currently the best brand for such purpose mainly because you can get adapters from almost any mount to EOS body easily and will meter with anything you latch on to it. I'm currently using 2 F-mount and 2 m42 mount lenses on my 350d with adapters... metering works fine....

How old is old? If you want something made in the last 20 years then you can.... If it's more than 20 years then you'll need to get an adapter for that...

my dad had some lense which was using with the F1, so all this lense can mount on the F1 body can also mount on the recent dslr?
