[QUOTE="aroy, post: 613043, member: 16090"] All lenses AI onwards use [B][SIZE=2][FONT=arial][COLOR=#333333]aperture indexing (AI) ring[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/B] to convey maximum aperture to the body. The pre AI lenses did not have this feature. Bodies which can use the [COLOR=#333333][FONT=arial]aperture indexing (AI) ring[/FONT][/COLOR] will be damaged if pre AI lenses are used. As D3xxx and D5xxx bodies have no mechanism to use the [COLOR=#333333][FONT=arial]aperture indexing (AI) ring[/FONT][/COLOR] they can be safely used with non AI lenses. I do not think that D600 which can detect [COLOR=#333333][FONT=arial]aperture indexing (AI) ring [/FONT][/COLOR]can be used with pre AI lenses. Here is a compatibility chart between lenses and bodies [URL]https://www.nikonians.org/reviews/nikon-slr-camera-and-lens-compatibility[/URL] [url=http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/compatibility-lens.htm]Nikon Lens Compatibility[/url] [/QUOTE]
