Hi guys. Does non-AF/AF-S lens work on DSLR. What I mean is the lens for Film SLR - will they work on Digital SLR? Sorry for my noob question.

QUOTE(ezrasang @ Feb 18 2011, 10:51 AM) The easiest way to differentiate is to see from the lens, if there is a word 'AF' then it will AF on selected DSLR. Simple eh? I have old lens from my dad. I ransack it from the store. A very old one but still in good condition. Those lens have no AF or AF-S lens so I want to know if it work on Nikon D3100 DSLR. If it does, I might buy it  Actually you're asking AF-S or AF lenses? For AF-S lenses, it will work on all DSLR automatically.As for non-AF lenses, they still can work on DSLR, however, you need to play them manually, which includes the shutter speed and aperture (you gotta do guessing). Anyhow, do correct me if I'm wrong though, I got these info from BTS Nikon Centre.    |

QUOTE(aldosoesilo @ Feb 18 2011, 11:20 AM) non-AF or non AF-S lens will work on D3100 but with manual focusing. QUOTE(celciuz @ Feb 18 2011, 11:20 AM) It will work, but you don't have metering nor auto focus. Everything is manual. That should be fine. I like manual focus and playing around it first before getting serious... |

QUOTE(ezrasang @ Feb 18 2011, 11:26 AM) Yes it will work, but 100% manually. If you got the patience to play, why not?  Yea. Since I do it as hobby instead of professionally taking photo for others. I going to enjoy it as much as I can with it |
