[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 465080, member: 12496"] Well, Nikon's mount compatibility does go back much further. And there are complications, but compatibility was quite important back in the day when we all already had several older lenses. Canon just abandoned the older lenses, and started over. But all during the 1980s, Nikon would modify any non-AI lens to be AI for about $30. They are still non-CPU lenses, but todays premium bodies handle that fine. But today, any older lenses are our own fault, we don't have to buy them today. :) And a budget for a D810 ought to include some proper lenses. :) [/QUOTE]
