Df and FTZ compatibility with pre-AI lenses


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Consignment shops and yard sales have numerous 1970's Nikon film cameras with pre-AI lenses at nearly dumpster prices.? My understanding is that, of the digital Nikons, only the Df can safely mount these lenses.
  • What is different about the Df design that allows safe mounting?
  • Would pre-AI lenses safely mount onto a current mirrorless body, using an FTZ?? Assuming all manual settings.
  • ?I have successfully used my old Minolta Rokkor lenses on my Z6, with a MetaBones adapter. The results are obviously not a match for new equipment, but fun to see the results, and I do have a few "good at the time" Rokkor lenses.
Do any of you have experience with pre-AI lenses on a Df body or with adapters?
