You are wrong, I am often wrong but I know when to admit it. The OP said they are AF lenses. Referencing the 50mm F/1.8 from over 30 years ago:

"The only incompatibility is that it will not autofocus with the cheapest D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100, D5000 or D5100, but if you focus manually, everything else works great."

The OP said I’m considering a D7500 or D750.

It is possible that this one will not have auto focus.

What electrical contacts? These lenses are MECHANICAL SCREW DRIVE AF LENSES. Please educate yourself before making silly and incorrect comments!

They are screw drive but they do have some electrical contacts as they are considered CPU lenses. Of course they are 100% compatible with the D7500 and D750. They will AF and operate in all exposure modes.

Many of them Pole-aroid don't have AF but all do have focusing. They are not fixed focus like some cheap 35mm cameras.

You're a really funny guy. Uninformed, stubborn, and somewhat stupid in the ways of lenses. I am not the only one to point out your misinformation, just the first.
Keep digging your hole, its being rapidly filled behind you.

Why are you so mean. It’s one thing to be wrong and not admit it . It is very different to be so angry Have you thought of some sort of anger management. Maybe you just need a vacation. If it makes you feel better about yourself to call me “ stupid “ feel free. I really feel you could benefit from some sort of counseling. Please I implore you to seek help. I hope you find happiness in your life . God bless and be well.

I am VERY happy in my life. You will not listen to the many people who pointed out your misinformation so you resort to name calling and rude remarks. I merely pointed out the inevitable conclusion everyone will naturally assume due to your unwillingness to see the facts laid out before you by so many. Go troll somewhere else where you may find others to believe your fallacies as you do, that will not happen here.
Good bye!

That is my point. They need electrical to function on
the newer cameras. Don’t be so rude. You are the one
that needs education.

Typical UHH Hogwash. Many of us know they work,
cuz we use them. Once you've been corrected, it's
time to politely shut the fuggup .... unless you just
love making a fool of yourself. OBVIOUSLY you've
never used them and are spouting stuff you merely
read ... and you don't read very well, either.

I never called anyone a name, I would never do that as that would be very non productive. I have received many positive and supportive replies to my post. Please once again seek help, there is no shame in asking for help. God bless and a great day.

The old Nikkor lenses the OP refers to are manual focus. You can’t auto focus a manual focus lens.

Read his title:
Using old AF Nikkor lenses on DSLRs.

Four months ago, you were asking about the D5300 vs the D5600.
One thing those cameras lack is an in-body focusing motor.
FYI: The D7500 and D750 bodies the OP is asking about all have a focusing motor in the body so they WILL autofocus with "older Nikon AF lenses".

I've been shooting professionally with Nikon since 1973.

Mt I already said if it makes you feel better to call me names, please knock yourself out. I still want to encourage you to seek some mental health treatment, I feel it would improve your overall quality of life and help you with your anger issues. I’m sure after you have completed your treatment you will thank me. Let me know if you need further advice, l am there for you. God’s speed and happy Thanksgiving.

I do NOT need an OK from Mr. Whiskers in the Sky.

You talk about nonproductive ? Thaz YOU, and your
blatantly wrong advice, clearly by a non-user of the
the gear in question. THAT is what's nonproductive.
Goody Two Shoes "blessings" don't patch that up.

Acoarst you received "many supportive replies" to
your post. You're NOT the only bozo on this bus.

Thank you for seeking additional advice from me,I am always happy to help a fellow photographer. I feel the pain you are in. It comes thru with your anger. I am pretty sure most insurance plans cover mental health treatment, if not many local governments have these services available for free. Maybe a member of the clergy you trust you can help you or point you in the right direction. I am always there for you.Good luck. Please keep in touch.
