No clue when it comes to Nikon

[freelanceshots]

I have a customer here at the Ducati dealership that I know work at and he has seen me doing photography work for these guys. He was telling me the story how he has 5 or so professional lenses maybe 20 years old from his film Nikon F2 camera and how it is a shame that he can't use them anymore if he goes digital. I replied you should be able to continue to use these lenses with the right digital Nikon body. Explained that it might be all manual but he understands that. This guy isn't hurting for money but he's not looking for the 8,000 digital nikon body either. What are the Nikon DSLR body that I should recommend to this guy?
