Subject: Re: Nikon lens mount
On later amatuer bodies
(kind of an arbitrary term on Nikon's part but generally anything more than a single digit Nikon), the tab is not moveable and damage will result to the camera/lens if one is mounted on the body. (There are a few exceptions eg FM, and FE).
Not the FM, or FM2. I have owned both, neither had a flip up tab. My FE did, however.
