I have a Nikon D80 and my grandfather just gave me his old stuff. He has 3 konica lenses (57mm f1.4, 28mm f3.5, 80-200 f3.5) Is there a way to use it with the Nikon mount, with some adapter or something ?
 
there might be. I don't have time now but you have to look up the back focus distance (flange distance) of the konica mount lenses. If it is longer than a nikon mount backfocus distance than it is possible. the next question are any manufactureres that make such an adapter. If there isn't then you can always build your own using lens covers. I use pentax k mount lenses on my rebel xt it was hard to find an adapter but i was able to and I love using my film lenses. Of course you have to rememer that you are going to loose auto focus and aperture and that focusing might be difficult at first unless you have a focusing screen over your mirror
