The lens mount of a D200 has a latch to couple with (the internal light meter of) the AI/S mount of AI/S-lenses. If you use a non-AI/S lens there will be no coupling; whether you enter the lens data in the camera's software or not. So: there will be no metering or other possibility to use the camera's programs. But the lens will still fit as it has the F-mount.

Off the record, I am not certain where the mechanical AI lever is on this camera...the user manual doesn't even mention it!!!

The pictures suggest 1:00 o'clock....poster said 8:00 o'clock

Ah, but it depends on the lens. I have a Nikon FM2 and F6006, both of which call for ai lenses. I can't mount my auto-nikkors which are non-ai. Won't go on. But the NF adaptor fits on fine, because it clears the the f-stop sensor ring. Same goes for bellows and other non-ai items. You have to experiment with each lens carefully. Some will mount, some won't. I have found that auto-Nikkors will usually not fit if they are non-ai, but... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Wes Loder) http://nikonhistoricalsociety.yuku.com/sreply/570 Mon, 05 Mar 2007 13:07:44 GMT http://nikonhistoricalsociety.yuku.com/reply/569/t/Mounting-a-Non-AI-55mm-f-1-2-to-a-Nikon-D200-.html#reply-569 The lens will cause damage to the Ai lever on the D200 body.
D70s has no Ai lever and so non-Ai lens MAY be mounted. However, the sensor in the 8:00 position of the D70s lens mount may cause another problem. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (nikonfapollo) http://nikonhistoricalsociety.yuku.com/sreply/569 Mon, 05 Mar 2007 11:10:57 GMT http://nikonhistoricalsociety.yuku.com/reply/568/t/Mounting-a-Non-AI-55mm-f-1-2-to-a-Nikon-D200-.html#reply-568 feeds@yuku.com (Wes Loder) http://nikonhistoricalsociety.yuku.com/sreply/568 Mon, 05 Mar 2007 09:22:32 GMT http://nikonhistoricalsociety.yuku.com/reply/567/t/Mounting-a-Non-AI-55mm-f-1-2-to-a-Nikon-D200-.html#reply-567 Regards,

Missed that one. I'll read the entire reply next time..

According to the D200 manual, non-AI lenses cannot be used. I would not mount a non-AI lens on a modern DSLR.

Manual focus AIS-lenses, on the other hand, I use all the time. Just bought a dirt cheap, like new 55mm f/2.8 micro for use with my D2X. Excellent combination! (Other personal favourites include the 28mm f/2 and 85mm f/2).

Non-AI lenses cannot be used with the D200.

I've used the 55,105 & 200 micro Ais lenses on the d-70 with no problems

If you enter the aperture and focal length of any AI/S-lens in the software of the camera the camera will 'see' the lens and will be able to measure. All non-AI lenses can't be mounted as the lightmeter won't work. Some lenses may fit but be careful with the lens mount.
In your case it is possible to mount a 55mm/1.2 AI (an AIS version doesn't exist) on a D200.
