The lenses that Nikon used on its F-mount SLR cameras between 1959 and 1977 have a little fork or “rabbit ears” on the aperture ring. However, entry-level digital SLRs (DSLRs) such as the D3xxx and D5xxx series can mount these lenses just fine, although those cameras then operate without their light meter.

Can you use other brand lenses on a Nikon?

So the basic answer is yes — look for lenses from Sigma, Tokina, Tamron, Voigtländer, Zeiss, Samyang, and others which are labeled as for Nikon or F-mount. Note that some of these may be manual focus only, both at the high end (Zeiss, Voigtländer) and budget end (Samyang).

How does the D3200 camera control the aperture?

The d3200 forces me to set to F32 before allowing me to see anything on the lcd screen . With CPU lenses, the camera wants to control the lens’ aperture setting. It does so via a lever on the back of the lens. In order for the camera to have this control, the aperture ring, if present, needs to be set to the smallest aperture.

Can a 3200 meter with a non CPU lens?

The 3200 will not meter at all with any non CPU lenses. You will need to use an electronic rangefinder etc to meter with those lenses. Meaning full manual control only. I’m not a pro photographer. I just play one on TV.
