Nikon d3100 Question

[mkx3hope]

I have a Nikon d3100, will a Nikon f1.8 50mm AIS Series E work on my camera?
Thanks!~

It will work, but you'll have to do everything in manual. No auto-focus, and no metering.

To add- doing everything in manual is not terrible! If you are willing (and able to in your shooting situation) to chimp for a bit to figure out your settings, these older AI/AIS lenses can give you great results. I have an older AI 24mm 2.8 that I love, it has amazing bokeh, and a good wide range. I use it all the time. Don't see manual settings and focusing as a set back, but an opportunity. They're also hella cheap lenses.

Sure it will work, but all settings will be manual which is not terribly wrong as you will learn faster with a lens which only lets you shoot manual.
