[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 658321, member: 16749"] As far as I know, any D3x00 or D5x00 body will work just fine with non-AI lenses, even though Nikon claims that you cannot use non-AI lenses on them. The issue apparently has to do with the conflict between the AI tab in cameras that have it, and the lack of a matching slot on non-AI lenses, which can result in damage to the AI tab. I think all models higher than the D3x00/D5x00 have an AI tab, allowing them to couple and meter with non-CPU lenses; but the D3x00 and D5x00 do not, and are thus only able to meter with CPU lenses. My non-AI lense work just fine on my D3200, albeit with exactly the same expected limitations as with any non-CPU lens. Without an AI tab, there really is not any way that the camera could even tell the difference between an AI and a non-AI lens. [/QUOTE]
