I came across a posting on CL that seems pretty decent. $100 for this:
Nikon N60 Film Camera with strap
Nikon 28-80mm lens
Quantaray 70-300mm lens
Quantaray Power Pro Flash Handle Mount System
Quantaray High Power Bounce & Swivel Twin Flash
Will these lenses work with a D5200? The 28-80 is a D series, and I see they aren't very expensive, but this deal is close to my house and I might give it a shot if it is comaptible.
ALL Nikon SLR going bcd to the 1960's use the same "F-Mount" and the lenses will fit and work to some degree. But features may or may not work. I'm pretty sure the film camera body has a focus motor inside the body and the lenses do NOT have motor. You D5200 lacks a focus motor. So you would have to use the lens in manual focus mode. The light meter should work.
The lenses would work in auto focus mode on a new Nikon body like the D300 that has a focus motor
All Nikon lenses will mount on all bodies, but you need to match up the features. Like in this case one of the two, the lens or the body must have a motor if the lens is to auto focus also, of course you'd need a body with an autofocus sensor. Same with things like Aperture rings, You need either a ring on the lens or a dial on the body. The above lens will have rings, so you can set the f-stop on any body.
The flash will work in manual mode on your D5200. I don't think it works in iTTL mode. If the flash as it's own sensor then it will also work on "A" mode (not the same "A" as on the camera body. Flash "A" means automatic but not TTL.
Bottom line is the gear is of limited use on a new low-end body..

Thanks for the info. I see the lens does say AF, but I'm not sure that would translate to the D5200.
You have to know how to read Nikon lens model numbers. The information is there if you have the full model number just "28-80" is not enough. My guess is that theNiokon lens and body were a package. If so the lens would be just "AF" not AF-D or AF-G or one of the others. If so it would be the "crew driver drive" toe and depend on a body with a focus motor, or the photographer's hand fr focus.
