Hi all,

 

Going to make the jump to bonafide digital (tired of the iPhone) and am thinking about either the 7200 or 7500 but my question is: will the two lenses I have from my old F601 film camera work on these new digital bodies? They are the AF Nikkor 35-70mm 1:3.3-4.5 and the AF Nikkor 70-210mm 1:4-5.6D

 

Hoping for a quick approval on this as I'm needing a fairly time-sensitive reply as per a purchase possibility in the works.

 

Thanks in advance

Both work on either body, even if none of them is a good match as the 20-24 MP sensors tend to reveal the optical faults of most film-era lenses. They were good, dependable workhorses on film but nothing like the 35-70/2.8 or the 70-210/4, both of which are still very good lenses on the most demanding sensors.
