Will the Nikon F100 be compatible with the lens, Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.4?

I'm looking to buy the Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 for my Nikon F100, however I do not know if they are compatible. The listing says it has a mount of Nikon F, which I'm not sure the meaning of… If you could clarify as to what a mount of Nikon F is (is it referring to the models?) and whether or not I'm good to buy the lens.

Thank you!

Added (1). Nikon 50mm f/1.4 AIS.

"F mount" refers to the type of the connection between the camera and the lens. Pretty much all lenses made for Nikon cameras are F mount ones.

The one that you are looking at is a very old lens though, and won't offer many of the features that you're likely accustomed with. You will get only limited metering with it, and no autofocus at all.

I'd advise against it. Get a 50mm prime that has AF or AF-S in its name instead. These will be fully functional.

All Nikon cameras since 1959 use the F-mount.

Here is a list of all the cameras and lenses made by Nikon and which are compatible with them.

I use my old Nikkor 50 mm f/1.4 AI on my F4 and D200, D300 and D3. Since it is a manual focus lens, I use the electronic rangefinder in the viewfinder of my cameras

Lens mounts are proprietary to each brand. Nikon calls their mount the "F" mount. So the short answer to your question is "yes," the Nikon F100 and the 50mm f/1.4 AIs Nikkor lens are perfectly compatible. The only downside is that the AIs lens is a manual focus only lens. You might instead consider the newer AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D or the newest Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G AF-S which will allow you to take advantage of your F100's autofocus capabilities. For future reference, your F100 is compatible with nearly all Nikon F mount lenses made since 1959. The limited exceptions are so rare and expensive they aren't worth mentioning. That said, be sure to avoid anything designed for the short lived Pronea series of cameras of the late 1990s.
