ohhh, maybe it was a 55-200 mm. It was my friends, so I can't remember exactly, I think he had an old Like F2 or something.

If I remember correctly, there's no 50-200mm lens by Nikon - only 55-200mm.Sounds like you tried to mount a 55-200mm lens by these manufacturers: Zuiko, Olympu, Canon, Pentax, and Mamiya.You will need a film lens with Nikon-F mount (not Nikon-S) to fit onto your D40.

But I tried to put an old 50 - 200 mm film lens on my D40 and I wouldn't fit.

No special accessories is necessary because all you have to do is to focus the old lens manually and set the aperture on the lens manually.

Can you do the opposite of that? Like put an old, film lens, on a D40 ?

i think he means any NIKON lens (Nikon F-Mount is the only lens mount since day one for Nikon SLRs) can be used on modern bodies..the earlier Non-CPU lenses can even be used in Aperture Priority mode for the D200/300/2X/2Xs/3...while Canon has went from FD -> EF -> EF-S..unlike Nikon, Canon completely changed the physical mount so you can't even mount it without an adapter let alone use the lens' features

number 3 is a typo..should be 2 :)yea i meant all F-mount lenses can be used on D200/300/3 (cameras in that class)...though ur method shows how gielded lenses can be used on Nikon F cameras..brilliant =)yea Canon has serious fun changing their lens mounts...from FD to EF to EF-S lol

Where's number 2? :)I'm not sure why you're telling me this...? "G" Design lenses cannot be used on Nikon F, F2, or F3 because lacking of aperture ring so this "adapter" allows you to stop down the lens anywhere from F/2.8 to F/22 by using the shutter cable release. Just push it in for specific aperture then lock the knob then shoot away. :)Yes, ALL Nikkor lenses (well, expect rangefinder lenses) have F-Mount. Canon lenses are entirely different so it's just crazy.

1. All Nikon lenses (even manual lenses) can be used even in Program mode for Nikon D200/D300/D3 etc..for other cameras there wont be metering but u still can mount it3. Unlike Canon, all Nikon lenses can be mounted on modern bodies..because the physical mount is identical..Canon's EF and EF-S has a diffent physical mount so it wont fit in the first place correct me if i'm wrong
