Lens of nikon d100 on fg


Quick question, I think I read something about this but may be mistaken, will a 28-80 zoom from a Nikon D100 fit a Nikon FG? I think I read somewhere that all nikon lenses except the non AI and all AF lenses except the D type would, but that may be a different mfr since I shoot several different brands of cameras and am always reading different material on lens compatability.

  Yes, it'll mount.
See table of compatibilities at
http://www.nikonlinks.com/unklbil/bodylens.htm
(lists FG, but not G-series AF lenses)
and http://www.nikonians.org/html/resources/nikon_articles/other/compatibility.html
(lists G-series lenses, but not the FG body).
I could be wrong but suspect that the FG cannot control the electronic aperture of G lenses. All other Nikon AF should work fine.

  Whoops. Forgot - if your D100 lens is a DX series, it cannot be used on the FG. Besides being G-series, the DX lenses project a smaller image circle that will not fill the 35mm film frame.
