[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 351946, member: 16749"] The “G” lens that came with my D3200 has only the faintest hints of compatibility with my F2 built in 1972. I guess it's reasonable to expect that lenses made specifically for DX-format cameras will have vignetting issues on a 35mm film camera, so that can be dismissed as a fully-expected limitation. But without an aperture ring, there's no way to use anything but the minimum aperture. The “G” lens will mount on my F2, and I have no doubt that I could take pictures therewith, but the limitations are such that it can hardly be truly called “compatible”. Do modern Nikkor lenses that have aperture rings still have the shoe needed to couple them to the meters on old pre-AI bodies? [/QUOTE]
