Usually folks want to fit older lenses to newer bodies. I my case, I couldn't resist a mint condition Nikon FM. Before searching for old lenses can anybody tell me if I can use a Nikon AF Nikkor D lens on an FM body. I don't want to damage any of the electronic contacts and I can't seem to release the shutter until I attach a lens. It's been a lot of years since I last handled on of these. It's so beautiful!
Sounds like the camera is defective - it should fire with or without a lens attached. As for “D” lenses, every autofocus Nikkor since 1992 is a D lens.
