Ken,

The least expensive current Nikon body that meters with AI, AIS lenses is the D7000. Above that you need to go to the D300, D700, D800 and all of the pro D1, D2 and D3 camera bodies.

I use many of my manual focus lenses on the D3200 and D5100 but I use an external meter or just guess at the exposure.
