[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 576638, member: 12496"] Old non-AI lenses are considered bad news on modern DSLR camera bodies. One story is that damage can be done to the camera electrical contacts. Many of the old lenses can be modified to be AI, but even then, the result is still 40 years old technology, manual focus, and you also have to set them manually for the exposure. Here is Nikon's assessment (note this one is a Nikkor Q lens): [url=http://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14439/~/can-i-use-my-lens-from-my-old-camera-on-a-new-digital-slr%3F]Can I use my lens from my old camera on a new digital SLR? | Nikon Knowledgebase[/url] [/QUOTE]
