I used this with my 55-300mm lens and it worked, both with my Nikon D7000 and the D7100. I prefer to use the manual focus instead of the auto focus. Automatic focus seemed to have difficulties at times, depending how far I zoomed in. As far as the 18-300 lens, I don't know but I assume it to be similar to my 55-300, so my belief is it should work.

Hello Richard. No, unfortunately, the older Nikon 70-300 lenses, specifically the D and G types (non-VR), WILL NOT auto-focus on the D40 family DSLR's. The newest 70-300 Nikkor G version VR lens, however, will work perfectly on all Nikon DSLR bodies, including auto-focus on the D40. I have a D40 body and it works quite nicely with the 70-300G VR. The only drawback here is cost - this latest version, released December '06, are running around $500 (6/08)! This is getting up into pro-range cost; almost one and a half that of the 70-300D, and over three times that of the 70-300G. I can tell you that the quality and results of the VR version are far and away better than the earlier ones, and there is less distortion and fringing than the now very popular, similarly priced ($600+) 18-200 VR. If you already have a small lens (the stock 18-55 is absolutely great!), you don't mind switching once in a while, you need that 300mm reach, and have about $500 to spend, the VR version is the way to go! The official Nikon product name: Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5 - 5.6G IF-ED. Good luck, and let us know here!

I have a d3200 it works fine. Autofocus a little slower than Nikkor lenses. I mostly manual focus as well.

Yes. But if you are using the Nikon D40 it won't have the "auto focus" functionality. You will have to shoot using manual focus. Which to me is OK, because I get practice shooting in manual mode. It is a good lens....Got it in Silver.

I use it with my D3200 and 55-300 lens and autofocus does work. I have noticed some diminution of image quality

It will only work as a manual focus lens and not an autofocus. I havent looked for any manual and autofocus adapters because all the older lenses I have are strictly manual. Even though you can only shoot in manual, the adapter is worth it. :)

I'm pretty sure. I use it to adapt my Nikon AI lenses to my Canon.. and of course you know the Auto Focus will defiantly not function ..

This lens does not have an AF motor but the D7000 has one so AF will work. However, the D3000 does not have an AF motor so this lens will not autofocus on the D3000. But you can still use this using manual mode in the D3000.

Hello. It will NOT auto-focus on a Nikon D3000, only manual focus will work. Since this is a tele lens, I won't recomend to use it on a dx camera. Because it will be difficult to see if you nailed focus just by looking through the viewfinder. I have a Nikon d600, and since my camera does have a focusing motor, autofocus does work on my camera. It is not a heavy lens. I use it as my emergency replacement lens, while my main lens is a Sigma 70-200 f/2.8.

If I'm seeing this lens correctly, it is not an AF-S lens, therefore it will not autofocus on a d3200... To quote Nikon: "Only AF-S lenses will work, AF lenses would require manual focusing. The lenses recommended are AF-S and fully compatible with your Nikon D3200 DSLR."

Any Nikon lens that is AF-S will auto focus on any Nikon digital SLR camera body(as I write this in November 2014). The thing to look for is AF-S.

If you have an f mount and are willing to do manual focus, the lens should work fine. I have one on my Nikon D3300 and it works very well. Good luck with yours.

It will work but not as an Auto focus lens - it is only auto focus on models that have a motor inside the camera itself - 3000 and 5000 series do not.

D5100, D5000, D3200, D3100, D3000, D60, D40X, D40 all require the same lens type compatible with auto focusing and have the same contact pins for camera communication. They all use AF lenses. So yes it will work.

This lens will ,probably work but will NOT auto-focus on the D3000 (you will need to manually focus this lens). Also check out the Tamron 70-300 'VC' and/or the new Tamron 100(?)-600mm 'VC' which I think may(?) AF on your D3000. Consider upgrading your D3000 to the D5200 or better yet the D7100. I own and regularly use the D7100 and the Tamron 70-300 'VC'... both are wonderful.
