[QUOTE="STM, post: 149324, member: 12827"] I would not necessarily count on that one. [I][B]AIS Nikkors[/B][/I] are forever, because they are purely mechanical. About the only thing you have to worry about is oil getting on the diaphragm blades and causing them to stick, an easy and inexpensive fix. Unless of course Nikon [I]pulls a Canon [/I]and changes their mount, thus [I]royally screwing [/I]their old FD users. Modern Nikkors have motors and electronics which [I]will[/I] eventually fail and with as fast as bodies and systems are evolving, you cannot guarantee that lenses of today would even work in bodies 5 or 10 years from now.
