N/F80 lens issue???

[Gerry M]

I just got a Nikkor 50/1.8 AF non-D lens. It works properly on my F100, N8008S (manual aperture), D7000 and D700. On my N80, the FEE message shows up and it can't be used in any mode. What is strange is my AFD and (one G) lenses work normally on the N80. I have double checked that the aperture ring is locked on 22, cleaned the body and lens contacts. From what I have tried, it seems that both the body and lens are OK. What have I missed? Any help is appreciated.

I have been in a similar situation to you with a non-d 50 which will work in all Nikon cameras I had except the F5. I sold it and got another one - I am not sure what causes it.

N80 does not play nice with lots of lenses.

Yep - I can't get my F80 to work with any of my manual Ai/s lenses.

Strangely enough, it works just fine with my cheap Yongnuo 40/2.8. I guess they are mated now. Thanks to all for your input.
