One reason for Nikons- F mount then, F mount then, F mount! My first good camera was in 1972, a Nikkormat FT2, those F mount lenses would fit today's DSLRs.
That's the one thing I like about my Nikon D40: I can attach nearly any F mount lens from the late 1950's to today, and it will fit. Exposure and focusing may need to be done manually with older lenses, but the lens certainly can be used.
