[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 509929, member: 16749"] I can only speak with certainty about the D3200 and those that are similar. As well as I understand, the issue has to do with the AI tab on the camera being vulnerable to damage from a non-AI lens. The D3200 does not have an AI tab, and does not attempt to support any mechanical coupling to the aperture ring, and so is not vulnerable to damage in this manner. I believe the same is true of all D3?00 and D5?00 series cameras, but not the D7?00 series. My understanding is that the D7?00 series does have an AI coupling tab, that can be broken by trying to mount a non-AI lens.
