Thanks for the website.
THEY ARE NOT.... not between brands... But if you have a Nikon SLR or DSLR - the lenses are interchangeable. In fact, If you have a 30 year old SLR the lenses can be used on ANY interchangeable NIKON body.

So don't get me wrong here -- because the new autofocus stuff will fit on a old body - but, of course - it won't autofocus.... but it will attach to the body and you could manually focus and set f stops etc.

What I was trying to point out is -- should you want to sell and upgrade your body at some time - if you have a mainstream camera brand such as a Nikon or a Canon - this is super easy and you don't have to change lenses and accessories etc.

Trust me - if you like photography.... and it is just another disease... you WILL want to upgrade or change stuff around. Not having to buy new lenses (the most expensive part of the hobby is the lenses) is an extremely important "function".
