Why does Amazon say this lens is not comparable with my Nikon D7000? The Nikon website says it is....

It seems to be a misprint. I own the lens and a D7000 and they work great together.

It has been the birding lens on my D7000 for several years. Exceptionally sharp photos with quick focusing in good light for sharp birds-in-flight photos. The compatibility information on Amazon is in error. This lens is an incredible deal for the price, and will also be useful if you decide to move to an FX Nikon body such as the D610 or D750.

it is comparable as the Nikon Official website says. Also it can match my D5300 perfectly!

Hey man, this may be a little late, but the reason they say it isn't compatible is this is a FX (full frame lens) meaning that for the D7000 (DX APS-C sensor). The lens will work, but it will change your effective field of view. Just know that this well be more like 105-400mm instead of 70-300mm. But it will work.

No. This lens is a CX format. I believe the D700 uses the DX format. Hope this helps.

I own this lens and use it on my D7100, and love it. It is tack sharp. I have a good friend that is a GREAT photographer, and uses it on his D7000. He has never had an issue with function or sharpness. It is one of his favorite lenses.

Yes; This lens is a really great buy to work with a D7000. There are some focus issues with D7000, but it could be resolved by fine tuning. I've been using this combination for the 4th year now.

Dear James, I find it strange that the lens will not attach correctly on your camera model Nikon 3200 because it has a Nikon F-type assembly, the same as the bringer of D7000 on Amazon when I bought came to market. Clarified that the lens Sigma 8-16 must say it is to attach Nikon. I acquired this lens and use it without problems so far.Yours sincerelyAlejandro D. Knauer

According to various Nikon sites, they should be comparable. I'd recommend doing a search for compatibility chart for your particular lenses with the frame just to be sure. The lens included does 90% of anything you want. All in all, extremely nice combo.

I have a Nikon and I really like this lens, especially at this price. I just checked the Amazon listing for the lens and your camera is not listed so you might need a special adapter or T ring. I recommend you call 47th street photo @ 800-304-2510 or 718-998-6666 to see if they have it. They're closed Sat & Sun. Good Luck.

Hi, I have the exact same lens and camera (purchased recently as an upgrade from d90), I will let you know when I do some test shots! I hope they work well together, because it is one of my fav lens. =]

When you order the 'nikon' version, they just include the nikon T adapter, which works with all nikon 35mm slr's. You should also check your manual to see what functions are disabled when using a non-cpu lens. In case it is not obvious, you'll need to focus and set the lens aperture manually with the lens. With the d5000, all light metering is disabled and you can only use the manual (M) mode. Nikons compatibility page for the d7000 seems to imply you'll still be able to use aperture priority(A) mode: http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/dslr/d7000/compatibility02.htm but you may need to find some lens data to load onto your camera to get that working properly. At $100, I'm pretty happy with this lens. It's sharp and lighter than I expected and let me experiment with a longer focal length.

Hi All, very interested in these postings but still can't get this lens to work with my D70 in M or AF. I too get fEE message displayed and shutter won'r fire, even after locking off at f22 etc. Starting to wonder if its a camera setting or am I missing something?

i bought that lens for my d7000 and had great success with it . i gave my daughter the camera and lens and since have bought the d800 and liked the lens so much i bought it again for that camera . with that said i recently sold that lens and am in the process of getting the newest nikon lens the 80-400mm . to sum up my reply great lens but its my understanding that because of the wide range the sensor area is always affected but should work fine when used on your d700...i believe this lens is a great buy

It looks like this one is for Nikon. They make one for Canon, I own it and it's amazing. Absolutely love this lens.

If it is sold directly by Amazon, I don't believe you have an issue. If it's a 3rd party (even selling through Amazon), you should check. Usually it'll say something like "USA Warranty" in the description. And if a lens is significantly cheaper than at the usual places, be doubly suspicious.It's a great lens, but its strength is in the 16-24 range, not as much in the 24-35 range. Since I have the 24-70, that's not such a big deal -- but be aware.

You need to check the specs of your camera to make sure that this lens is ok.for example: D7100 is ok but not D3100.

I have a d700 and it has worked wonderfully with it. No issues at all, I've used it multiple times.

I am not sure how you would "know" without believing it is as it is stated. I would say you should look locally to you. Visit reputable shops. Try it before you buy it! National Camera Exchange would warrant a sale of used gear. So would others. If the seller is a reputable dealer or good ratings and a return policy I would give it a try. The 70-200 f2.8 is a sweet lense! I love mine and could sell it now for more than I paid new for it!

You can get one that is compatible with your Nikon, but I wouldnt. The quality just isnt there, for me anyway. I have found Sigma lenses to have much better quality and to last well. All my lenses at this point are Sigma, for all my cameras.
