Question by nomo b: Will Nikon Film SLR lenses be usable to Nikon Digital SLR cameras? I want to confirm because I heard they do.?
Im just going into photography now. I know very little. I was recently given a Nikon film slr camera with a set of awesome lenses. I was planning to buy a Nikon digital slr camera and was wondering if I could use the film camera lenses on the digital camera. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Generally yes, although they may not have the full function of a new lens.

You may have to manually focus, that is turn the focus ring on the lens yourself rather than a motor doing it. The auto focus control system should still give some indication when it finds a point in focus.

Metering and exposure modes may be limited to manual only rather than the full range of automatic exposure modes.

Despite these limitations Nikon lenses are very good optically and worth using.

If you have the correct software yes. Since you didn’t mention the brand of your camera I can only assume it came with a software disc. If so install it. It may give you the ability to control the camera from the keyboard.

However, this doesn’t mean you can print them instantly unless that same software can talk with your printer. If it can yes, if it can’t… well, search for some software that will.
