Will lenses from older Nikon SLR cameras fit the newer digital slr cameras?

I have an older Nikon F Slr Camera with several lenses and I was curious if these lenses will mount on the newer digital SLR’s

Inquiring minds want to know….

So here’s a article and chart for you.

Bottomline: If you have the older Nikon lenses with the coupling prong, you can mount them and manually focus on most of the new DSLR Nikons. If you have AF lenses, you’re good to go.

With AF lenses, you’ll have virtually full compatibilty with D200, D300 and above. You’ll have manual metering on D50, D70, D70s, D80, and D100. And the D40 and D40x won’t autofocus with some of them, but can work with manual
focus.

With AI, AI converted, and AI-s lenses, you’ll have full metering only on D200, D300, D1, D2, & D3.

I hope you find this helpful. Fortunately, Nikon has provided some degree of compatibility with its heritage lenses, unlike the other major camera makers.

Canon dropped the FD mount for the EF. Minolta/Sony, Olympus, and other also left their older lenses as orphans.
