Dale---your 28-80 af SHOULD work. It's not a G lens as far as I know. Perhaps you have the aperture locked at the minimum ? Check your lens owners manual, there is usually a little bbutton or slide on the lens to unlock it from the minimum aperture and allow you to rotate the aperture ring. Good luck & let us know----Jerry

Dear Dale, there is a gentleman named "Kenneth MP" who posted a very good explanation relating to the two NEW G-series lenses by Nikon: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/messageboard/fmseriesmsg/index.php3 I have been to this site for the last 3 years and it may possibly needs to update some of the content especially with some of these funny and confusing decision adopted by Nikon.

This is a very nice web site for vintage cameras. I just purchased a like new FE2 camera because of this site. I have found the manual listing and copied that. I'm confused however about what lenses will work. This site says that any AF NIKKOR will work but my 28-80 AF NIKKOR doesn't. It's a D lense and perhaps that's the problem. On manual I can't even change the f stops. And I can't use my non AI lenses so I guess I need AI lenses, correct? With all the talk about shutter troubles I'm getting cold feet. Please help. Thanks in advance, Dale

I plan to purchase an FE for my daughter's birthday. Can I use AIS lens with it? And if so does
their use require any special setup?

I just purchased my first FE2 in like new condition. QUESTION ? This camera does not have a honey combe shutter. Every document I have seen shows the camera with the HC shutter. Can any one help me on this? Did NIKON make this with a flat shutter similar to the FE?
