@T.Calvin. Does the light meter on your D40 work with this adapter? If so, can you use aperture priority mode?

Yes,when the camera is set to aperture priority, the camera will set the appropriate shutter speed for the correct exposure. This is how it works on my K20 Pentax Digital And for the one I use On my Nikon D800 Digital camera. Regards Dennis Dellis

Nope! No metering whatsoever. I had to dig way into my memory to get back to the "Sunny 16" rules and go from there. I still love the thing, though...

Yes. I recently purchased this flash for my d40 and it works quite well. Far superior to the stock camera flash. Cheers

Yes, it will mount and take photographs on a D40. The autofocus will not work though. The lens can of course be focused manually to take photographs, but realize that it is a limitation. Look for any AF-S lens to have working autofocus.

If you can manually adjust the aperture on the DX lens the camera will meter. I am using this adapter with older, fully manual Nikon lenses, so I don't have any experience with how well the DX lenses work, but the adapter works very well with manual Nikon lenses, extension tubes & bellows. Remember that there is NO electrical connection between the lens & the camera.

Hi, I use it on my D200. As the Nikon lens mount has not changed, The adapter should work. However, as the product description says: "The lens will fit physically, but the automatic diaphragm, auto-focusing, and other functions will not operate correctly while using this adapter. You can shoot in manual or aperture priority mode.". I use it in aperture priority and change the aperture from the lens with excellent results. Hope this helps.

I have the d800e and it is awesome with that. I can't see it not working with the d810 (did not even know that it was out yet)...but you could always return it fairly easily if it does not. For the price, it is well worth the hassle of finding out. It is a great little unit. I especially love the bulb feature (long click and it stays on...short cllick and it is off).

I just bought this for my D80. It works perfectly fine. If you zoom in to the max then the built-in flash will cast a shadow (the lens itself is in the way) because you are so close to the object, in that case you need external lighting. No other 'issues' (this will happen regardless of what macrolens you use, so it isnt really an issue) that I have seen, great lens.

I use this on mine and it works on full manual mode. Light meter doesn't work as there's no metering so it does take some experience and guessing. Also just a tip, images are sharper if you set it to f5.6.

Yonnattan,Simply stated you can use the adapter in manual mode if the lens has an aperture ring as well as aperture priority if the lens has an aperture ring. I hope this answers your question. Regards Dennis Dellis

I have a 40 D. The flash is used for wedding photography. Works in auto and manual mode. I had no issues with this product. Hope this helps

If the Tamron has the Adaptall II mount (not a fixed Nikon mount) this works nicely. If you have an aperture ring on the Tamron then you can use aperture priority auto mode with stopped-down metering. Or full manual metering.

Bruce, yes it will work in your Nikon D40. These are great SD cards and they are fast enough to capture several photos per second. Hope that helps.

Yes it will. The only gotcha is that you must focus manually on the D40, D40x or D60, even though they still meter and expose perfectly.

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!

with a Nikon D40x would it be necessary to buy an adapter? my camera has an 18-135 lens 45m

I have used this with my D90 and D40, both with no problem. Have you checked that the setting on the lens is AF, not MF? It is kind of tricky, but the rule of thumb is if you see both the AF and MF showing, then you are good. If you only see MF showing, then it is wrong. Also make sure the camera body's setting is on AF.

The question was: compatible with NIKON D40 (not D50). USeful information but not directly to what was asked...
