Will Nikon FA Matrix Metering work with Tamron Lense?

My father gave me his old Nikon FA to play with. It came with a Tamron SP 35-210mm lens. I'm wondering if the FA's "matrix metering" will work with this lens, or if I should always/only use "center weighted" metering when using the Tamron.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT NIKON D7100?

I have couple of questions in regards of my purchase for my new camera (Nikon D7100)

1.Is it necessary for me to go to Photography School to be Professional Photographer, I not even a "professional" at least kinda close to becoming a professional one?

2. I'm currently studying about the "aperture" in Nikon's User Manual, can I adjust my camera's aperture manually if I have NIKKOR LENS AF-S 18-105mm f/3.5 - 5.6G ED VR, or I need to buy a specific lens like CPU lens?

3.Is there any website I can go for "FREE" training?

Do wide angle (Nikon) lenses offer a significant benefit over compact zoom lenses?

My Nikon 12mpix L105, a Black Friday 100$ special, has a 15x Nikkor wide optical zoom vr lense. Happy enough with it. If I purchased another model with a "regular" lense, let's say also 15x (though if I trade up I'll likely want more zoom), would there be any difference in my photos? I'm not a photographer in any sense. Just wondering. More convenient to have a smaller camera (I'm tired of clutter, only want 1 of anything, I've contemplated just buying a 2nd). Decided not to buy a dslr anytime soon. As I said I'm not a photographer.
