Why is the listing for an "AF" lens, when the description clearly says "Manual" (MF)?

I didn't see anything on the page that had a all manual lens (although Nikon does still make one) every lens on the page is an AF lens with the capability of also being used as a manual lens if you turn off the AF feature. Hope that helps

It is both. It operates as an auto-focus lens with the Auto Focus feature turned on and may be focused manually when the AF switch is flipped to manual.

Thanks for the info. I figured that out , finally. Don't know who gave me the misinformation about exchanging lenses, but I purchased the K-7 with the proper lens. Thanks again.

It's an autofocus lens. There is an outer ring that pushed in one direction will be manual focus only. Either pull the ring closer or push farther away and you should get autofocus.

Hello, there is an Auto Focus on this lens. Click the switch by AF - M to use Auto Focus (AF) however when shooting Macro, it's usually better and easier to manually focus. I hope this helped.

Hi NJ. difficlut to explain in words. there are youtube videos you can check. . 1. Activate the MF in the body 2. Pull the focal ring of the lens to MF mode. you need to do both.

The box says 'automatic' and you can clearly see the linkage parts in the picture. I actually ordered it strictly because of that - due to wanting to be able to change aperture while doing macro shots

Description also says its for a Canon so... Sorry I can't be of more assistance. Maybe their descriptions are combinations of different products.

It's in the manual but the camera has a setting to override the dof focus etc. In that respect it's not really intuitive.

Hi Russell, I don't know if there was a lens change, but mine has both the AF and MF switch (I bought it 3-4 months ago). As I am Google Trusted Photographer my lens stays in the MF mode all the time. It's great a lens and make fantastic panorama pictures.

This lens is manual. the aperture is controlled by the ring that is in the lens and not the camera.

I may very well be in this very situation. I have ordered this lens used from a private seller thru Amazon.com. It was sold under the heading of being an OS system lens. However I have reason to believe it is not. I believe that 'Pastor Aguiar' has purchased the older model of this lens which is sold thru Amazon.com with no AF listed in the posted add. However it does have AF. I am guessing that the lens only has a limiting switch on the side and no OS or AF switches. Judging from the date or your posted question, I bet that I am a little late with this answer.

That part of the model number tells you about the lens. The lens with the GF5X is an upgraded model.

Dr. Smith thank you for the response, yes that helped, but I do have it set on 'M' and it still does the error 'FEE' so I am out of options. I cleaned all the sensors and made sure to listen to the 'click' when lens locks. I'm really unsure what is the problem now. Does this mean that I can only use the f/22 with this lens? Thank you so much! I appreciate your help.

There is no AF support for non AF-S lenses with the D3000 or the D5000. Manual focus only

It means that the equipment has been repackaged by the seller, which can be done for various reasons. I purchased a "white box" lens kit that the seller claimed was brand new, removed from a larger kit to sell as separate components. What I received was a refurbished lens, worth considerably less. I was never able to get a straight answer from the seller, and returned it. Beware, be sure to ask if you are getting a new lens or a refurbished lens, then inspect it carefully upon arrival.
