[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 548019, member: 16749"] There are no lenses that can be used on the D7xxx, that cannot also be used on the D3xxx and the D5xxx, though of these, only the D7xxx can meter with non-CPU lenses, or autofocus with AF lenses that do not have built-in focus motors. On the other hand, contrary to a claim that Nikon consistently makes, the very oldest non-AI lenses can be used just fine on the D3xxx and D5xxx (Nikon claims that they can only be used on the Df); but I do not think they can be used on a D7xxx. In fact, I believe you risk damaging a D7xxx if you try to use a non-AI lens on it. This self-portrait was taken with my D3200, using my 1972-vintage non-AI 50mm ƒ/1.4 Nikkor S Auto. [ATTACH=CONFIG]206510._xfImport[/ATTACH] So, really, the D3xxx and D5xxx bodies offer a somewhat wider range of possibilities for using older lenses than the D7xxx bodies do. [/QUOTE]
