I have a AF-S Nikkor 18-135mm 3.5- 5.6 G but its not a VR lens. I have a D7000. Will this replacement bayonet mount work on a non VR lens?

I would imagine so. I never used this mount - the local camera shop was charging ten dollars more than the price of a new lens to install the mount, so never used it. I do think these Nikon mounts are very standard and fit both types of lens, but can't verify that.

Both the Nikon 18-200 VR and the Sigma 18-200mm OS lenses will autofocus with other camera. The (nikon) nikkor does, but Sigma it depends on the version, the latest version works well. My does have.

It has a base that screws on to the lens, then the hood bayonet-mounts to that base. So the answer to your question would be, "Yes".

I believe the GL 2 has a bayonet mount option. And opteka does make a bayonet mount ti series lens. But if you are talking about the screw mount (the one I just ordered is a 58mm screw mount.) I have a sony vx2000 that has 58mm threads on the lens and also has a bayonet mount. I personally like the screw better it is more stable and can be mounted on any camera with a step up ring. I also have a sony trv900 which has a 52mm thread on the lens(52mm thread is the same as thread as the vx1000) you said your camera has 55mm so you will need a 55 to 58mm step up ring. BUT BE VERY CAREFUL ORDERING THIS ONLINE. IT'S HARD TO KNOW THE QUALITY. THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS FOR POORLY MADE THREADS TO LOCK UP AND BECOME STUCK TO THE LENS/FILTER/EXTENSION RING. If you know anything about cameras you should be ok. Just do your research and read reviews. IF NOT, GO TO A LOCAL CAMERA SHOP AND GET THEM TO HELP YOU. YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE WITH SUCH A NICE LENS. REMEMBER TO ALWAYS LEAVE YOUR LENS CAP ON WHILE THREADING THE LENS ON TO THE CAMERA. IF YOU DROP IT IT WILL ONLY SCRATCH THE CAP NOT THE LENS. I hope this helps.

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!

There are no electrical contacts, at least on my adapter, to enable VR to work. Of greater concern is that DX lenses have no aperature ring and when mounted will be set to minimum aperature of f/22 or f/32. Older lenses with an aperature ring can be adjusted.

It works fine with VR 55-200 and should work with any Nikon lens. I guess it should work better for 70-300 as compared to 55-200. I could not get good results with 18-55 lens though.

Sherrie: This is a popular lens. You should check to see if it is a current model that includes VR to avoid shake. I have a Sigma same range (35 yrs old) but no shake stabilization works fine on my D7100 . Maybe the lens you are looking at is not new but the Nikkor should work on your camera body as well, I think. If it is new it will be a AF-S - DX- Nikkor and compatible. If used, check the complete specs to ensure that all functions will work.

Yes it will work. But...it is NOT a "VR" ( Vibration Reduction) lens. I have this lense and I now wish I had purchased the VR version. This lense is a lot cheaper but the "VR" makes a really big difference in taking photos. Spend the extra cash and purchase the "VR" version. Good Luck.

I don't know on a 50mm because I used it on a Nikon 500mm mirror lens and found that it physically adapts the bayonet mounts, but it changes the focal length of any lens mounted to it and it did not make a practical adaptor for what it intended to use it for (America's Cup photos).

I dont know because I do not have this lens. I worked with him in the 70-20 2.8 VR working very well and really enjoyed it.

Not a Nikon user, but understand if ordered with the Nikon mount the lens will work.

This will work. Same mount. BTW, you'll love this lens. I use it almost all the time.

That's the exact lens I used it on (if you're speaking of the "kit" lens that came with your camera) so I'd say yes. Don't expect the exact same feel as the new bayonet needed some break-in time and is still tighter than the old one. Again, I recommend (strongly!) working on a white surface with lots of light. Go slow and keep track of your parts. It's a do-able job for the non-professional!

Not sure. Try going to Amazon.com and see the filter offered when you shop for the Nikkor 18-140mmG ED VR. I use CANON so I'm not to savvy regarding Nikon, but this would be my suggestion.
