D100 Compatible Lenses:
1) D-type/G-type AF Nikkor: All functions possible;
2) P-type Manual-Focus Nikkor: All functions except autofocus possible;
3) AF Nikkor other than D-type/G-type: All functions possible except 3D Matrix Metering;
4) AI-P Nikkor: All functions except 3D Matrix Metering and autofocus possible;
5) Non-CPU: Usable in [M] mode (camera’s built-in exposure meter does not work). Electronic Rangefinder usable with lens with maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster;
6) IX-Nikkors cannot be used.

I'm pretty sure the DX series lenses can also be used with the D100.
