[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 348162, member: 16749"] I do not see where the page to which you provided a link says anything about [B]non-[/B]AI lenses, or about lenses that Nikon claims cannot be used at all with the D3000. [URL="https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14439/~/can-i-use-my-lens-from-my-old-camera-on-a-new-digital-slr%3F"]The link which I gave earlier[/URL] has a table of different old lens types, and an explanation for each type as to what compatibility they do or do not have with modern DSLRs. The very first entry on that table is [i]“Non-AI lenses”[/i], and it has this to say about them: [indent][indent]Nikkor-Q, -P, -H type, [U]and other[/U] non-AI lenses were designed long before digital cameras and cannot be used on any D-SLR or late model film SLR, [U]with the exception of the new [B]Df[/B][/U]. [URL="http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Digital-SLR-Cameras/1526/Nikon-Df.html"]The Nikon Df body[/URL] allows for connection of most Non-AI lenses through the use of a newly designed Meter Coupling Lever, which has a hinged tab that folds down for connecting Non-AI lenses.[/indent][/indent] In any event, my three non-AI lenses, my D3200, and I do not agree with what Nikon has to say on the subject. These lenses work just fine on my D3200, albeit with the same obvious and expected limitations that apply to all non-CPU lenses. You do know that [i]“non-AI”[/i] and [i]“non-CPU”[/i] do not mean anything close to the same thing, right? [/QUOTE]
