The Last Nikon Body with Non-AI lens support was the F4 (1988-1996)
20 years later, Nikon re-introduces the Non-AI compatibility in the Df Body.
Any thoughts?
A non-AI compatible AI tab was a factory option for the F5, and if you had an F5 with the kit you can have a camera tech swap it to the F6.
Additionally non-AI lenses are physically compatible with the D40,D40X, D60, D3x00 and D5x00 bodies, albeit with the same limitations as any non-CPU lens (no metering, but AF confirm works)
The Df just adds metering and the non-AI compatible Ai tab. And it's because the Df was supposed to be a Retro body.
