[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 201596, member: 16749"] I'm no idiot either. Having heard of rumors that old lenses might damage some newer cameras, I carefully examined both my camera and my lenses before I mounted any of them, to make sure that there was nothing on any of the lenses that would mechanically run afoul of anything on the camera. There is no such issue. There is nothing on the D3200 body that will run afoul of anything on a non-AI lens (at least not anything on any of the non-AI lenses that I have). They fit just fine, and work exactly as the manual says AI lenses would work with this camera. I gather that there is some plausible risk of a non-AI lens damaging the AI coupling on a camera that uses it. I'm afraid I am not sufficiently familiar with the working of the AI coupling to grasp how this damage occurs. But the D3200 doesn't have an AI coupling. I suppose we can argue all day about the theories about how damage may or may not occur from using the wrong lenses on this camera, but I have empirical results that prove I am right. The pictures in my OP were all taken using non-AI lenses mounted on my D3200. I've taken many more pictures since then, using these lenses,and before, them, within them, and after them, I've taken pictures using the stock lens that came with the camera. I've not damaged by camera by so doing, and a careful examination of the camera and the lenses shows no manner in which I plausibly could damage it in this manner. [/QUOTE]
