Can I use old Nikon lenses on new Nikon cameras?

Asked a year ago
Yes, you can use old Nikon lenses on new Nikon cameras, but with certain limitations. Nikon cameras with an F-mount, such as the latest DSLR and mirrorless models, are fully compatible with older Nikon lenses. However, the level of functionality may vary depending on the lens and camera combination. Older manual focus lenses can be mounted on new Nikon cameras, but manual focus and aperture control will be required. In contrast, newer lenses with autofocus capabilities will work seamlessly on modern Nikon cameras. Some advanced features might not be supported on older lenses, such as in-camera VR (vibration reduction) or automatic exposure modes. It's recommended to check compatibility details and consult Nikon's website or support for more specific information on using old Nikon lenses with new camera bodies.
