Howard, 

Nice photo.

I thought the AI tab on the D200 interfered with the "lack of a slot" on the
non-AI lens.

Isn't that so?

Hello Luggers,
This Sunday morning as I was having my first cup of coffee I was surprised
to see the daily fishing boat coming closer than usual to the beach at
Cheung Sha. Grabbing my longest lens - the 34 year old Nikkor 200 f4.0
(recently rescued from fungus as reported here earlier), I bolted it on my
newish Nikon D200 - set the camera to Aperture preferred and shot away. I
know that non AI lenses are not supposed to be used on Nikon AF bodies but
the 200 worked fine.  
Here's a picture.
