[QUOTE="dtownley1, post: 261168, member: 20564"] hmm, I'm pretty sure the most (if not all) Nikon/Nikkor (whichever is correct if they're the same thing) will work for Nikon DSLR's. One thing though, is that I think the new lenses have some kind of chip in them which enables more advanced features with the camera. A lens without the chip won't be able to perform those features. It'll still work of course, just not be able to perform some features. I'm not sure what those features are though - something to do with colour profiles or autofocus or something like that. I hired a D70s from my uni a while back, and it mentioned that in the manual, so I really can't recall accurately now. /rambling Anyway, yes, you should be able to use those lenses. Just go to a camera shop to be 100% sure. Perhaps if you take the lens in, they could even let you try it on a D50 body? I don't think other brand lenses would work at all on Nikon DSLR's. For example, I highly doubt a Canon lens would. Check out the lenses under Accessories for the D50 here, see if yours is listed. [url]http://www.nikondigital.com/main.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
