hi, I was able to mount this lense on my Nikon D3200. of course it's not Autofocus, as expected, however, my camera doesn't read the f stop. Why?

Fstop must be stopped down manually........when using those type lens the only thing you will have available to you is the exposure meter i think

There are two things you should be aware of: 1. The lens you have is a Nikon non-AI lens. It is not compatible and generally not recommended to be used on a digital camera. The lens mount of a non-AI lens is a bit different from the newer AI, AIS and AF lenses. While you may be able to mount it on your camera, it is not recommended. 2. The D3200 depends on electronic contacts to know the aperture settings. The non-AI is a classic mechanical manual focus lens with no electronic contacts. As a result, the D3200 will not know the aperture setting on the lens. Hope this helps. Thank you for shopping our store. We appreciate your business. Blue Penn Cameras

This lens is manual focus and manual aperture. So it won't AF or automatically adjust the aperture. It works in full manual mode very nicely but that may not be what you want to do.

The lens will fit so long as you buy the Nikon F mount adaptor however there is no auto focus. This lens is strictly manual. This is not an expensive, high quality lens. I use mine for fun, not for serious photography.

Probably not autofocus at least not reliability. You lose 2 stops and the D-7000 probably can't focus above F5.6

This lens would not autofocus on my D5000, I suspect it will be the same on the D3200.

This lens will not auto focus on select, C-sensor bodies. However, it will on the D70.

You need to get the optional lens adapter for F-mount lenses:Nikon FT-1 F-Mount AdapterYou can read the limitations and specifications under the description of the adapter. Not all Nikkor lenses ever made will work, auto-focus won't work with lenses that don't have autofocus motors in them, field of view is altered, etc. Still, it means there are far more lenses available for the Nikon 1 system than any other mirrorless camera. I would imagine that would be more important to someone with a collection of Nikkor lenses than for someone just trying to decide what camera to buy.

Hi. I purchased the same lens 2 days ago and yes, I am a novice using a D300. I have the same 'err' reading but when i switch and locked to f/22 i realised that the camera body electronically controls the aperture setting - which you can obviously set in 'A' mode. I assumed that the manual a f adjustment ring on the lens then was only for cameras that do no have electronically controlled A settings via the body.

Yes, if you buy the Nikon mount version. It is a manual focus lens, so autofocus will not work. Auto aperture should be OK.

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

I would also like to know if there is a lens for the D40x that is similar to the Nikon AF f1.8. I thought it would be OK to focus this lens myself but it seems in low light I can't see well enough to focus the lens. Now I'm sorry I bought it because I can't use it for what I intended. It does take nice landscape photos but there is no focusing to worry about at infinity.

I have a D3200 and autofocus is fast to f / 4, it takes much less to focus, and the VR lens does not work with it

It's working fine with the autofocus mode on your lens, would also work with the manual focus but you would have to preset the focus on the lens.Michael

See if you can find this particular lens with the "AF-D" designation (vs plain old "AF"). On this particular lens model Nikon changed the AF gearing resulting in autofocus that's much faster. (D does not signify an AF speed increase on other Nikkor lenses, just this one -- it's a designator that indicates that distance info is passed to the camera.)

On your camera you must adjust the aperture ring all the way to f/22 , if not it will not auto focus .My lens works well with Nikon 5000, D90 on both manual and auto focus . Remember the aperture ring must click to the f/22 spot on the aperture ring . Good luck Michael lomax .

Went on a trip with my new D50 and it stopped working after 5-6 pictures. Showed an error message. When I got back home I decided to read the book. Seems the lens slipped out of F22 to F16. Rotating the F-ring back to F22 fixed the problem. Ignorant me. Since then I try to only purchase lenses with a little snaplock on the f-ring. Problem solved.
