Nikon SLR Cameras

I'm looking at buying a new Nikon 35mm camera, will any of my digital lenses work?

My main options are the FE2 / FM2 / F801. I use a Nikon D90 for digital shots, and have a 50mm f1.8 lens with an aperture ring. Would it mount onto these 35mm cameras?

(Also, does anyone have any opinions on those film cameras? I want one which makes double exposures easily - as I currently have a Pentax K1000 which doesn't, and is sadly making its way to camera heaven.)

The Fe2/fm2 are classics for a reason. I never did care much for the early AF models such as the F801. For not all that much more money you can get an N75 or N80 off ebay.

Anyway, that 50 will work perfectly. Any AF or AF-D will work.AF-S lenses and AF-G will be problematic, these only work with some of the latest film bodies. The dx kit lenses don't work well on film bodies.
