Will lenses from old Nikon N8008S work on D3300?

[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 353046, member: 16749"] They should all work just fine, albeit with some limitations. Looking it up on the Wikipedia, it appears that the N8008S supported an early form of the CPU-type lenses, so the lenses made to go with it may very well be CPU-compatible with the D3300. You won't get autofocus with them, of course. The D3300 only autofocuses with AF-I or AF-S lenses that have their own built-in focusing motors, which the lenses for the N8008S would surely not have. I guess you'll just have to experiment to figure out how fully-compatible these lenses are with the D3300. The very worst possible case, if the CPU feature of the lenses is not what the D3300 expects, would be that the D3300 will only be able to work with them in “M” mode, with no exposure metering, leaving you to figure out and set the exposure settings manually.
