I have a Nikkormat film camera with the following three lenses:
1. NIKKOR - S Auto 1:1.4 50mm
2. SIGMA MINI-WIDE 1:2.8 28mm
3. Vivatar 85-205mm 1:3.8 CLOSE FOCUSING AUTO ZOOM

Anyone know if these will couple to a D600 and work in a manual focus mode?

The Nikkor needs to be AI converted if it hasn't already or it will damage the camera. The other two should work as is, even if they are a Pre-Ai mount, as most 3rd party lenses don't have the aperture skirt that extends down past the mount face...Post pictures of the mounts & I'll be able to better tell you...

Nikon lenses will fit Nikon SLRs and DSLRs. As for the electronics, look on page 285 of your manual.

The Sigma & the Vivitar are good to go as they are AiS & Ai mounts respectively. Do not mount the Nikkor as it has not been modified. Notice that the aperture ring "skirt" extends down past the mount. Another way to tell if it has been modified is it will have two rows of aperture numbers & a "ridge" on the skirt. You can see the ridge I'm referring to just to the left of the aperture "prong" on the Vivitar image

I have four Nikkor lens from my prior SLR days. Three of them seem to have that protrusion.

Can those lens be modified? and modified by whom?

That ridge is what's needed to operate properly on any Nikon camera. It's the lack of the ridge that is the problem. I'm assuming the ridge on the edge is the protrusion you are speaking of, not the aperture prong...Post some images of the mount to be certain...If they have two rows of aperture numbers, they are good to go as the older Pre-Ai (or Non Ai as some call them) only have one set of aperture numbers on the lens...BTW, what Nikon DSLR are you going to use them on? Fit & functionality vary by model...Nikon DSLR's that lack a focus motor in the body can use practically any Nikon lens ever made, but focus & metering have to be done manually. Most upscale Nikon DSLR's (D200 or better, including the D7000 & D7100). can use Ai or newer MF lenses & will get metering in either M or A modes. Prosumer Nikon DSLR's like the D70/s, D50.. can mount & use Ai & newer, but get no metering & cannot use unmodified Pre-Ai Nikkors

Scott,

Your reply has me somewhat confused. You said "That ridge is what's needed to operate properly on any Nikon camera" and you replied to me "That ridge is what's needed to operate properly on any Nikon camera." Did you mean that ridge is what is needed to operate properly on any "DSLR"? My 50 mm without that "ridge" operated fine on my Nikkormat film camera. :?:

That "ridge" wasn't needed on the old Nikkormat cameras as the aperture info was transmitted to the camera via the aperture prong If you remember, you had to turn the aperture ring on the camera to transmit what the maximum aperture of the lens was to the camera. It was a pain......

When I said "any Nikon camera" I was referring to current Nikon DSLR cameras
