GAH!
I found something on the Nikon site
quote: "The G-type Nikkor has no aperture ring; aperture should be selected from camera body.
G-type Nikkor is compatible with all exposure modes of the Nikon F5 [snip]... and F-601M.
Other cameras are not compatible."

Apperantly there is another version of the 601.. the M and that one is compatible.

I need an F5 [grin]
