500mm reflex lens with D200

[victor]

Does anyone know if I can use an early Nikon 500mm F8 reflex lens on a D200?

Thanks

p.s I am not thinking of taking it diving

I think that you can use it....manual focus only.

This link seems to be what you probably want. Most lenses will work, with manual focus and manual metering, but there are some real old ones out there that might damage the camera body, IIRC. Basically, if it's a Pre-AI lens from 1977 or earlier, it may not work.

Should be okay. I used one on a D70.
