I was wondering, lenses that have motors in them, are they able to be used on the older cameras? I can see how the old lenses wouldn't be able to be used on newer cameras though. I don't think it's too big of a deal either, I was just curious. |
One of the many reasons why I love Nikon is that it has used the same lens mount on their cameras, so that when they came out with autofocus lens and digital, almost all of the old Nikon lenses can be used on them. The newer lenses with the motors can be used on older cameras. I can't use any of the DX lenses on my film cameras because they don't cover the full frame of the negative, but the non-DX lenses can be used on film and FX cameras.
Looking at the attached lens list, I see Nikon came out with a 50mm !.8 lens with a motor in it. I used to know every lens that Nikon released, but I'd prefer to come here to read about Yorkies when I have free time now.
