but all my lenses are Nikon.

As already pointed out, renting is a good option for trying before you buy.

The one downside to manual focus on DSLRs is that the default focus screens lack all the focus aids that the old film SLRs had, which makes it harder than it need be.

Lots of knowledgeable and friendly folks over at http://www.nikonians.org if you have questions about all things Nikon.
