You bet. IN fact, juist about every Nikkor lens is (on manual for the real old ones).

I guess they are but the f# will change with the exact ratio ( read these instructions of these lenses on nikonusa.com) and of course some features of the camera can not apply to these lenses.

That's true. Obviously you won't be able to use a manual lens on auto focus or auto shutter speed, etc. So full manual may be your only option. But if they're auto focus film cameras, you should be fine.
