I have Nikon cameras, so lens needs to be compatible.


Answer
APS-C or FF?

If you are doing FF then the 24-70mm f/2.8 is a minimum must have lens. You probably want to add a 85mm f/1.8 and a 70-200mm f/2.8 at some point.

If you are shooting APS-C then you will want to look into the NIKKOR 17-35mm f/2.8 and a AF-S 50mm f/1.4.

Will the lens of an old nikon camera work on one of the new digital cameras?

I have a nikon 8008s camera with three lens for it. If I buy a new nikon digital camera will these lens work on the new camera?


Answer
Lenses for an F801/8008 would all be Ai or AF/AF-D. They would almost certainly NOT be AF-I/AF-S (the F801/8008 can't operate the autofocus motor in AF-I/AF-S lenses). They would mount on any Nikon digital body.

The two gotchas would be:

1. Ai lenses (except for the fairly uncommon Ai-P lenses which are actually AF-D lenses without autofocus) would get no metering on anything except the D1/2/3 or D200/300/700.

2. AF/AF-D lenses would not autofocus on a D40/D40x/D60

Another important thing to note: Except on a D3/D700 all your film lenses will behave like longer lenses on digital bodies, due to the 1.5x crop factor of the smaller sensor.
