Looking for Answers about Nikon Inc. AF Zoom-NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4-5.6G?

Yesterday i tried with this lens , It worked quiet well. THe clarity was amazing....

Yes, but it will not autofocus on a D40/40x/60/3000/3100/5000/5100. This lens will only autofocus with bodies that have built-in auto-focus drive motors, such as D80/D90/D7000, and up.

Yes, but it will not autofocus.

First of all first answer to this question is wrong as this is not AF-S VR lens!!! Wrong phorum man.

I have more precise question - will AF work with D7000 or not ?

Naturally the 70-300 AFS VR G lens will work perfectly with the D7000, as it does with my D90.

Nikon specs are wrong it said "AF-S lenses required for autfocus".
Never owned one but further research showed it was the only low end consumer DSLR to have a built in screw drive.

Slightly incorrect, it will AF as the D50 has in built focus motor so is able to af with non af-s lenses

I don't believe there is anything about this lens that would make it incompatible with your camera. I think you will find that it will expand your vision by bringing small things closer and allowing you to take pictures of objects at about five feet away and throw the background out of focus so the entire picture concentrates upon your object of interest. You will find he lens light and easy to work. Just remember to relax, take your ttime, take a deep breath and squeeze the shutte button slowly to get great pictures.

Yes. Any af-s lens will work with the Nikon d3000. Af-s means that there is a servo motor in the lens itself to power the auto focus. All of your lenses need to be af-s if you want autofocus to work.

No. You need an af-s lens

Cameras such as the D5000 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.

Most all Nikon DSLRs have the Nikon F bayonet mount and all the Nikkor AF-S lenses like this can mount that camera.

Yes, the AF 70-300 4/5.6G zoom lens not only works with the D90, but it works very, VERY well! That's all functions, including ambient and flash metering, autofocusing in all modes, DOF preview...everything! And it is particularly well balanced on a D90, permitting low shutter speed hand held shooting without the need for VR.

it won't autofocus but it will work.

Don't use teleconverter if you want acceptable AF speed.

For future reference, compatibly chart:

There are no teleconverters that are compatible with this lens. The reason is because the back element on this lens moves too far and will hit the front element of the teleconverter.

Hope this helps.

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 D3200 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.

Sorry typo should be D4 not D400.

The AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G lens will not autofocus on the Nikon D3100 but is otherwise compatible. For lenses that will autofocus look for those with AF-S designation, like the AF-S-VR-Zoom-Nikkor-70-300mm Lens.

For more information on choosing lenses for your D3100 see this article on Nikonusa.com:

No you need an af-s lens as your camera does not have a focusing motor built in.

No. You will need an af-s lens as your camera does not have an internal focusing motor. If you use just an af lens, the lens will have to be focused manually.

No. You need an af-s lens as your camera does not have an internal focusing motor.

the af lens will work fine on the 3100 you will just have no auto focus

Well, it works on my D50, so it will definitety work on a D70. The D40 is an open issue.
