Ideal Uses: Perfect for use on manual-focus FX digital and film cameras.
Not for: Fast action: focus is manual. Not for cheaper cameras that can't meter with manual lenses.

Compatibility
The Nikon 85mm f/2 AI-s is compatible with every decent Nikon SLR ever made, from the original Nikon F of 1959 through today's D800, D3X, D3 , D700 and F6.
The newest upper-end digital Nikons are fully compatible, and even have this lens programmed into their firmware!
On the D800, D3X, D3, D700, D300, F6, D2 and D200, use the "Non-CPU Lens Data" menu option to input 85mm and f/2. This gives full color matrix metering and EXIF data, and finder read-out of set aperture. It works great in aperture-preferred as well as manual modes on these cameras.
It works perfectly every professional film camera (F, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6), and adds Matrix metering on the FA, F4 and F6, although it won't couple well to the cheaper digital (D80 and below) and cheaper film cameras (N80 and below).
See Nikon Lens Compatibility for details with your camera. Read down the "AI, AI-s" column.
