I was under the impression that most any Nikon lens (being all F mounts) would be interchangeable between DX and FX cameras. Yet my 35mm, which was bought for a DX camera, will not attach to the d800. Though I line up the indicators, I can t twist it into place without getting some serious resistance. Attaching the same lens to my DX camera is a breeze and requires very little force. The same is happening with my Nikkor AF-S 55-200 mm 5.6 DX lens, and with my Nikkor AF-S 18-55 mm 3.5 DX lens. Are all of these incompatible with the d800 or am I missing something obvious?
