Nikon AI vs non-AI Short Comparison | Can it be mounted on my DSLR body?

Are non-AI lenses safe to mount?

When I was starting out not long ago I ran into this problem of not knowing the differences between AI and non-AI lenses. A lot of my first lenses were vintage lenses because I was trying to find budget options for both cameras and lenses. As mentioned in the description, there are many non-AI versions of lenses that are optically similar to their AI counterpart. The non-AI versions are often cheaper which made them a more attractive option but I did not know if there would be any problems mounting these old lenses onto my camera. I made this video to try to answer that question for people that are in the same situation.

Leave feedback if you can. I would like to start making more videos about Nikon, Sony and Panasonic gear and budget options so any feedback and critique is greatly appreciated.
