50mm 1.8D & 85mm 1.4D is not compatible with Nikon FM10

Here i got a problem with 50mm 1.8 AF-D lens when attach to Nikon FM10 body.
The problem is the i can't completely press the shutter button when this lens attached.
After did some investigation, i found out the mirror only flip half way. Look like it stuck at back lens (i don't know the exact term to call this part). After i unmount the lens the shutter click completely. I did test with all my lens event have no problem with my 18-55 VR kit lens.
Resource i gather from Internet, 50mm 1.8 AF-D is should be compatible with Nikon FM10.
Arrgghhh... make me think to let go this lens for another 50mm prime lens.

Update:

85mm 1.4 AF-D also not compatible with Nikon FM10 - Updated on 25th June 2011
