Lens Mounting

lastboltnut · 18th July 2006

Hi guys,

I am new here. Can I know if Nikon FM2 Lens fits the new DSLR body? Are the mounting the same?

Thanks.

yes it is the same mounting.
if it is an AIS lens, you will lose metering on a D50, D70, D100.

There is only one mount for FM2 ie the F mount. Sure can go into it.
But....

I think the TS should RTFM and look into the compatability chart for lenses specific to his camera.

FM2 uses F-mount.

Most current DSLRs will be able to mount any older F-mount apart from IX mount glasses. However, only D200 and the pro bodies will be able to meter with the AI-S glasses.
