The older Nikon bodies could use Ai lenses, it was not until the E-Series lenses and AF lenses dropped the bunny-rabbit ears. The Df meter works with the pre-Ai lenses, has the flip-up coupling. I have a few F2's.Some repair shops still convert pre-ai lenses to Ai and can even "chip" (digital chip) them.<a href="http://www.aiconversions.com/" target="_blank">http://www.aiconversions.com/</a></blockquote>
