Hi Graham!
You're right! Non Ai lens can damage the metering lever on Nikon 7xxx and FX as well.I did the conversion mysefl , it's pretty simple, it requires removing the aperture ring and some grinding, with the help of a table found on internet you can do it easily.

I chosed this version over 50mm 1.8 AFD or 50mm 1.8G because it has better construction (full metal), long and smooth focus throw.
Regards
Robert
