I have a 1971 F. There are some lenses that don't physically fit the digitals without doing mechanical damage to the contacts on the body. That can be modified so the lens does fit and work on the digital. I've not done that, but use quite a few older lenses that will work on the F and also the digitals. It seems that lenses made prior to a particular date, I don't know what that date is, don't work without modification. You might do a search for
I've seen a site that does list all of the lenses / cameras compatibility. I just don't remember the address.

I have old film Nikons and as I move to a digital Nikon I'd like to make sure I can use my old lenses. So what do I go for? My lenses are typically for the F, but some have been modified to also work on the 20/20 - 20mm, 50mm, 135mm, 500mm reflex, tele zooms... The D7200 looks like a good choice...
