Nikon Camera Flash
Will the lenses and flash bulbs of an older Nikon camera be compatable with the newer digital Nikon cameras?
A Family Member of mine purchased an older semi-professional Nikon camera in the early ’90s, and he was wondering if his flash bulb and lenses, also bought new around the same time, would be compatible with a new digital Nikon camera.
Advance thanks for any help provided : )
I am guessing you mean speedlight or flash and not flashbulb. There are probably only a small percentage of the folks on here that have actually ever used a flash bulb. But I know where you are comming from ~lol~
It depends on the speedlight and lens but probably so . Any speelight with a low enough sync voltage like the SB-25 can be used I will link a chart so you can check the flash. If you do not know the sync voltage or if the chart says its above 12 V for Nikon ( 6 volt for Canon) get a wein hot shoe to hot shoe safe sync slave and you can use any speedliht with that between the speedlight and the camera
Here is the chart
http://www.botzilla.com/photo/strobeVolts.html
Now as to lenses any lens that is AI, AF, AFd, AFs or AFi can be used
On some cameras pre AI lenses can also be used ( D40/D60) Others they cannot mount on unless they have been AI converted
Yours are probably AF or AFd if they were made in the 90s as they started making them in 1986 and they are still made today,
AI lenses will never autofocus they were manual focuse cameras. In addition only AFs and AFi lenses will autofocus on the D40/D40x or D60
AI lenses will not meter on D100, D90, D80, D79, D60,D50 or D40. They will not matrix meter on the D1 though they will center weight and spot meter, they meter on all other Nikon dSLR
I routinely use lenses from the 70s on my cameras ( D40 and D300) . Feel free to email me with specifics on the camera, lens and spedlight you have gotten. BTW That old film SLR still probably takes great pictures also so keep it around in case you get a yearning to shoot film oneday
