>>4068146>This just isn't truewhat specifically?
if you have an old film Nikon, you have 40 years worth of glass to use on it, they don't AF to begin with, so not sure why you'd get a modern AF lens for it
if you have a more recent film Nikon, you have that 40 years + 20 years of most of the modern AF lenses, you'll run into issues with the modern exotic telephotos, tilt-shifts, 1 fisheye, and about 3-4 traditional lenses, of which all have older models which work just fine
if you have a DSLR from before 2013, you are incompatible with grand total of 6 modern lenses (3 of them are 70-300's, and 2 are 18-55's), only thing you lose out on really is the 10-20
if you have AF-D lenses, you only lose AF with D40/D60/D3xxx/D5xxx/D7500 (again +20 year old lenses used on mostly entry level cameras), and of course can use them on the film cameras
if you have AI-S lenses you lose metering on D40-D90/D3xxx/D5xxx/D7500 (again +30 year old lenses on mostly entry level cameras, still usable in manual exposure), and of course can use them on the film cameras
all the incompatibiliy is pretty niche imo, and if it's the catch for having 60 years of native lenses, worth it to me imo
>Essentially, with nikon, take every lens and throw all the features in the garbage and then whatever you are left with is what works.most of the lenses work just fine with most of the cameras
canon didn't even let you mount EF-S to EF bodies, and you also just have to ignore the entire FD lens lineup
