I have an old Konica film camera (T3) that I got for a christmas gift. I also have three lenses (Hexanon 50mm 1.4, Hexar 28mm 3.5, and Tamron 80-210mm 3.5-4). I have a Nikon d40x and I don't want to get rid of them so is there an adapter for these lenses, and if there's are there any problem that might occur with a adapter of some sort?

An iPad 2 or a Nikon D5100 DSLR camera?
I had been wanting the iPad 2 for the past year after seeing my mom with her iPad but recently I saw the Nikon D5100 and I ended up being adamant about it for the past month since I have a passion for photography. But then, I feel like the need for it has faded and I can't decide whether I want my mom to get me the iPad 2 or the camera. They are both in the same price range, so I was wondering; which should I get?

I have a Nikon D3000 so any help or tips would be greatly appreciated thanks.
Looking for a good macro Lens? - 1
I have a Nikon D5000 camera and I'm looking for a good macro lens. I know that the Nikon 60mm macro lens in a pretty popular lens, but it's a little bit pricey if you're on a budget. I've been looking at alternate brands like Tamron and they seem to have some really nice lenses.
In particular I looked at:
Tamron SP AF60mm f/2 DI II LD (IF) 1:1 Macro Lens
Tamron 90mm f/2.8 SP AF Di Macro Lens
They both got many good reviews, but I was wondering which would be a better buy. I mostly shoot snowflakes, flowers, small objects, and insects. I want to be able to get a very close up shot without being so close to the subject that the lens interferes with the lighting. I'm also looking for a lens with a deeper DoF and nice natural background blur and bokeh. Which Tamron lens would be the better choice? Other lens suggestions are also welcome, I'm looking for something within the $250- $450 range.
Nikon D3000 auto focus won't work?
I got a Nikon D3000 one month ago and I'm still using the 18-55mm lens. I never had any problems at all until yesterday when I tried to take a picture and it would not focus. I tried everything and it does not work. The only way I can take pictures now is by pressing the AF-L button when it's focused…
I tried to reset to factory defaults, but I noticed that I do not have a reset button? I read on the user's manual where it is supposed to be, but instead of a button, I find a tiny hole there…
Can somebody please help?
I was doing a Santa photo shoot yesterday for a local store with my D90. I knew that I was going to be going through batteries during the shoot so I used my vertical grip for the extra battery power. I was also using a 16Gb sd card in the camera. At one point the battery indicator started flashing on the top lcd panel on the camera. So I switched batteries and was ready to go again. As soon as I closed the battery cover on the grip and turned the camera back on, the top lcd panel started flashing "Err". I tried turning off the camera and waiting a few seconds before turning it back on, I tried removing the lens and putting it back on the camera as well. Still that Err message was there and the camera wouldn't function. I had changed nothing but the batteries and this caused the Err message to pop up. So I decided to switch memory cards and suddenly the Err message disappeared and the camera was ready to go again. So I figured that the memory card was full and that was what had caused the Err message to appear. However when I returned home and checked the 16Gb memory card I noticed that there was only 45Mb used. Any idea what might have caused the Err message?
