I did some research a while ago when Walt talked about the possibility 
of using those adaptall lenses many of us have on a Fuji DSLR body. What 
I found is that Nik*n long ago dropped support for their old MF lenses 
on the lower end bodies. This was already the case with film SLRs long 
before digital. They have always made bodies that will take the old 
lenses, but they are the expensive ones. Since the Fuji and low end 
Nik*n DSLRs are all derived from consumer film bodies, they won't take 
the MF lenses. None of this is based on personal experience, but on 
posts on Nik*n forums and spec sheets.
