Note: all cameras can be used with older non-AF lenses, but only in M or A exposure program mode and without metering, DOF-control, autofocus and flash programs. In Exif no lens data will be shown when using non-AF lenses. Some cameras need an input of lens data for metering and for Exif. All AF-S VR-lenses (except VR-Nikkor 4.5-5.6/80-400 mm) will work on all cameras. Older AF-lenses without an AF drive shaft will not work on some cameras. See for details your camera and/or lens manual.
