Will this work with the Nikon D40 AF SWM lenses? I bought a set some time back and found that they do not work with CPU lenses or a CPU type camera. Please advise...New to photography but learning quickly

I can tell you I use AF-S 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Nikkor Zoom Lens. It does work for light levels but of course you can't use autofocus with extension tubes. You focus with the zoom.

Oh, sorry, I'm not familiar with that model. I have a Nikon D80 and they work with that. You do have to be careful about the size/weight of the lens, though.

I got them for my Nikon D90 and they do work. The auto focus and other lens functions all work. No problems with the extensions or camera/lens. I use zoom lenses and there are restrictions at high zoom but that is expected as these are for close in work, not telephoto. Overall I'm very happy with them

I should start off by saying I'm not an expert, just an afficionado. I'm not sure about your specific camera, but generally all Nikon DSLR lenses will work on all Nikon DSLRs. If your camera is old and does not have autofocus capability, then the lens will not autofocus and needs to be focused manually. I will add that this lens has wonderful bokeh, but it's so fast and sharp that I often used it without the Defocusing feature at all. It's great in low light.

I hope you found it by now or otherwise got the Sigma version but the newer version of this lens marked "with built in motor for Nikon" will autofocus on the D40/D40x/D60. I just ordered one through an amazon warehouse deal and am anxiously waiting its arrival. Here's a link to the newer 17-50 you would want for your D40x:Tamron SP Auto Focus 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di-II LD SP Aspherical (IF) Zoom Lens with Built In Motor for Nikon Digital SLR

It will work but will not have auto-focus on the d40. The d40 has no internal auto focus motor and relies on lenses with motors for auto focus. This will auto focus on higher end bodies like the d80, d90, and d7000. Keep in mind this lens will also have a crop factor due to being designed to work with full frame cameras.

I have used these tubes with my Nikkor FX lenses (24-120 and 70-300) on my D700 and have had no issue. The zooming action of your lens serves as the method for focusing (I found this out using a bellows and a zoom lens many years ago), so if you are looking for autofocusing to work, you may be disappointed.

Yes. The Nikon D40 and D40X have the same mount and both need lens that have a motor built-in to focus automatically. For Nikon lens, you need "AF-S". For Sigma, you need those with "HSM". I own a D40 and even though I just bought a Nikon 18-200mm zoom, I am seriously considering this lens because of its fast aperture.

Most Nikon lenses will work on D3200 even lenses from film cameras. They won't have auto focus though.

Hi.I´m sorry but I can´t answer that cuestion because I don´t have that kind of camera. But as I have understod, Nikon has not changed the system of the lenses so I´m 90% sure it will work. If you have a lens with autofokus there is a chanse that it doesn´t work so you have to set the focus manually.

You can use it on any Nikon DSLR with F Mount, however, you have to manual focus. It has no autofocus motor built in, so your camera must have one to use the auto focus function. There are CPU contacts on the lens, the Nikon cameras can control the aperture and it can also measure the exposure. I have this lens and I use it with my Nikon D5000. It is sharper than the 18-55mm kit lens and sharper than the 55-200mm f/4-5.6 lens.

I purchased this lens to use as a flexible architecture and portrait lens on my Nikon D90. The lens did not autofocus when on my DSLR, and I had to return it. This may have been due to a defect in the lens, however. I hate to encourage buying something just to see if it will work for, only to have to return it, but if you have no other way to confirm that the lens works on your D40 then you may have to do that. Best bet would be to contact Tamron directly to ask them. Good luck!

Nikon D3000 works with AF-S lenses and this one is NOT. The lens will work on the camera basically, just without AF. Hope that helps!

I believe that any newer nikon lenses that have the AF-S designation will work with the D5100. It is my understanding that the D5100 camera body cannot focus the lense itself so it relies on autofocusing lenses (AF-S) to get this done. You may want to investigate this further though.

You are making ne second guess my lens. I bought the 90mm, but have not used it yet too much. I have a Nikon DLSR D5000. It is supposed to work. I have taken a few photos . . . seems to be fine.

They will work on any Nikon DSLR for certain. The other person who answered clearly got a defective unit. I have two receivers and use it with two off-camera flashes and they work extremely well. I think it's an inexpensive way to get into manual off-camera flash and certainly reliable enough. The alternatives only get more and more expensive.
