If those 3 lenses are older lenses the issue may be that the aperture ring extends past the lens mount surface. This interferes with the AI coupling tab on your camera, which is why it won't safely mount.

I do have a contact for a guy who does the AI modification to these lenses so that they will fit. I just had one done myself for an older lens that was passed on to me. The Nikkor-Q 135mm mention in my sig to be specific.

The cost was $35 and it now mounts and works with no problem.
