Yes. This lens is completely compatible with the D80. Autofocus and exposure both work very well. Unlike the AFS version, you must flip a switch to go into manual focus with this lens. On the other hand, (at least on a D3S) I found this lens to focus faster than the AFS version. I have used this lens on a D80 and it is great.

On D3000 you can use this lens only in manual focus mode,
but AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G will support your D3000 in auto focus, because it have internal Silent Wave Motor (SWM).
Auto focus on D3000 works with all Nikkor lenses, which started from "AF-S NIKKOR ... or
"AF-I NIKKOR

If you want to use this lens on a D3000 you will have to achieve focus manually since the camera body doesn’t have the internal motor for AF.

Nikon offers two types of autofocus digital camera bodies: those with a built-in focus drive motor and those which require a lens to have a motor. Cameras such as the D40 do not have a focus motor in it so they require the lens to have the focusing motor – an “AF-S” lens. While these bodies can use a lens with no focus motor (an “AF” lens) you would have to manually turn the focus ring to bring the subject in to sharp focus.

You may want to try the AF-S version of this lens.

Question

True focal length

What's the actual (what I see) focal length of this lens on a DX body and FX body? Also is the 50mm 1.4G the same focal lengths?

With the crop factor on the DX camera, you will most likely be approximately 75mm but it is 50mm on FX. This lens is and FX and I'm not sure if I'm right or not.

It is a good lens and as Joe says creates nice bokeh. You have to be very careful though when using a lens like this with a low aperture, as it is easy to not get the focus not quite correct when focusing (for portrait mostly focus on the eyes) and this can ruin a photo.

There is a 3-position switch located on the front of the body below the lens release button. This switch is labeled M-S-C. Turn it to "M" for manual focus.

I had the same problem when i got this lens with my D7000 as well. What you do is notice the the writing on the lens, and the attachment white mark on ur camera, all you have to do is put the writing on the side of that white mark and twist your lens to the right where the writing on your lens stand on top when the lens is click in, do this a few time you will be good at this. This lens is a bit confusing as it does not have the white mark for attachment on it, and in the manual there is no where telling u how to do it.
