p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Non-AI Lenses Compatibility, Why so late?, Why now?


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?

Yea, it's something people have been asking for for some time ... Nikon finally listened to its customers ... not quite implemented the way many were thinking, but it works.

Truly one of the fantastic features of the Df. There is great value in these vintage lenses. Very capable of producing very sharp images with beautiful colors and depending on the lens, some of the best bokeh you'll ever lay your eyes on!

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.
