Will this work with my dad's old AI lenses?

I own the adapter, I own old AI lenses and EXPECT the combination to work! I have yet to purchase the X E1. (so I cannot tell you for sure)
1500642
It should. With my Nikon AF lens mounted on the Fotodiox mount and onto to my Fuji XE-1 the aperture setting and focus ring is manually adjusted.
1500643
Yes, this adapter takes Nikon F-mount and will work with AI, AI-S, and AF lenses as well. Doesn't work with the new AF-S mount/no aperture ring, that you'll need the more expensive version of the adapter to control the aperture iris.
1500644
Yes. There are two versions as I understand it. The second, which I did not purchase, handles later lenses that do not have an aperture ring - I think it has its own aperture settings while the lens remains wide open. I kept several Dx lenses and DSLRs but have not tried the Dx lenses with this adapter. I think the only way they can be used is wide open, which is rather pointless. I am mounting on a Fuji X-Pro1 with a Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 (circa late 1970s) - works fine, of course manual focus only.

It will work, but you basically have manual focus and manual aperture settings, it will still do auto shutter speed for a set ISO, or auto adjust ISO also...

It will work with the brand you sulect, the brand will use the same connections just like any of the lenses you can buy.

Your lenses will fit, but unless they have a built in motor they will not autofocus, only manually.

Everything should work...I might question the remote, those things are a little quirky and are sometimes model-specific. Depends on the style of memory card you are using, if you are using the SD style then it will work. All of the lenses I am using come from my old Minolta system, so your lenses should work just fine.

If you are talking about old film lenses, they are, but you must buy an adapter so you can use the old lenses. Also keep in mind that a film lens of 50mm,say, converts into a 100mm focal length on the Micro 4/3rds digital format.I can't remember the exact designation for the adapter, but the ones offed on Amazon are self-explanatory.

If you have a t-adaper it will probably be usable, but you might be better off getting a shorter lens and a 1.4 or 2.0 converter.

Yes, it will work. The fit of the mount ring on the lens seemed to be a little tight but it does work just fine. The lens screws are very very tiny so I would be sure to do the job inside a cake pan or something because if you drop a screw, you will never find it. Take your time and you will be OK.

Yes, i have so much fun to use all my old lenses (K mount) but first you need to get the right adapter for about $30. You better do some research on pentax forum. They have many tests on different lenses.

If the lenses on the older camera are EF, then they should work. I had a Canon EOS Film camera and purchased the T3 digital body. Both my Canon EF 28-90mm and Canon EF 80-200 from the Film camera work fine.

Hey Holly. That's one of the benefits of Nikon and the F mount. So long as it's F mount it will work. Their lens mount has evolved over the years, but it was always backwards compatible. I have a few lenses that are in the 30 year range and have no issues with them. By all means use them! some of those are gems.Acutally i only use a 50mm 1.2 AIS on my D600... and that's 31 years old.

I don't believe that the D3100 has a non-cpu setup for AI/AIS lenses, so it probably will only work in manual mode and all the metering done by the user.

If they were used on a Pentax camera YES. I have a number of old lens from an ME and type K Pentax film camera. You need to follow the instructions from Pentax. Manual settings for the old film cameras

Hello, to be honest I don't know, but I think YES, depends of the Lens you will add (for example mine its Macro which DO NOT retains de autofocus -see manual there are new one it does- ) the adaptor does not affect. I hope this info can help.

your lenses and both cameras use K-mount, so you can use your old lenses on the K-30. that being said, they almost certainly use a screw drive (with its familiar "whirrr, whirrr"), so you won't see the full autofocus speed improvements available with new SDM lenses (which just go "chick"). also just FYI some new lenses won't be backward compatible with your *ist. in my case, the only old lens i use with the K-30 is the beloved 50mm f1.4. I think the wireless flash should function normally, but that's actually a bit more complicated than the lens question. My understanding is that despite some spec changes, wireless P-TTL works normally, and wireless auto or manual flashes should work just as before.

Yes. It will work, because both these bodies support lenses that do not have internal autofocus lenses like this one. Plus the lens is great fun to use, with very good picture quality.

Completely interchangeable. Only older Sigma lenses may not work fully, but those lenses aren't worth keeping anyways.

If your older prime lenses are AI or AIS they will work great on you D600. I have six AIS lenses that I use on my D600 with great results. However, if your lenses are the older pre-AI lenses they may damage the sensor so be careful. You can google online to learn how to determine if your lenses are AI or AIS.
