Question: are all nikon dslr lenses compatible?
Answer: Before you get too complacent and think you can use any Nikon lens on any camera, there's another wrinkle. Unlike Canon cameras, where every lens has an autofocus motor, some Nikon lenses, like this 50mm f/1.8, don't. Instead, they use an autofocus motor that's built into high end Nikon DSLRs.
