Will my Kiron 70-210mm lense fit any new digital cameras?

My Dad has a few lenses that he used on an old Nikon 35mm camera he got when he was in Vietnam. I was just wondering if any of the lenses would work on a new Nikon digital camera? I just tried the Kiron 70-210mm on a new Nikon D3000 that my sister got but it said "lens not attached" even though it was attached. Just wondering if anyone knew if it would work on any new digital cameras.

It's a Nikon F mount, but all manual. The low end stuff doesn't play particularly well with these old lenses, but once you get to the D90 and even more the D300 level, they work much better.

That lens isn't really worth buying a whole new camera to use… The modern 55-200 VR is a much better lens, and it works well on all the Nikon bodies.
