|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Compatibility issues with newer Nikon and older AF lens? Jeff Brehm, Photographer, Photo Editor Charlotte | NC | USA | Posted: 5:03 PM on 07.21.10 ->> I made the switch to Canon back in the Mark IIn days and am considering switching back. I'm also goofy enough to ponder doing it gradually (with less of a hit on my cash flow), using older Nikon lenses I gave my daughter to go with new Nikon bodies. Will I have any compatbility issues with using the older "push-pull" Nikkor 80-200 f/2.8 AF lens with a new Nikon body, such as a D300, D700 or D3? I tried asking a Nikkor tech support rep, whose response could best be summed up as "Huh?"  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It works just fine on the current bodies.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
