Nikon’s commitment to backwards compatibility is incredible. I can use my father-in-law’s Nikon lens from 1970s on my D3400.
Edit: manual only if that isn’t obvious
- Bud 6y agoYou can actually use Nikon F-mount lenses dating all the way back to 1959 on modern Nikons. Truly incredible.
- stan_rogers 6y agoOnly on the higher-end bodies. You pretty much need to be using a modern AF-S lens on the 3XXX and 5XXX bodies, between the focus drive and the meter coupling, and pre-AI won't work without modification on the 7XXX.
- matwood 6y agoGood point. My first Nikon was a D60, and at the time I had a very cool older 50mm. I had to manual focus, which was actually fun, but no metering would be tough. That combo took some great pictures though.
