If your lens work well with D40 directly, this macro lens will work with your lens.

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.

As a new enthusiast, I wanted to respond to you quickly. So my initial response is to tell you that this tube works fairly well... but I only tested it on my D300 with a 24~70 lens(2.8).However, I will test it with my D40 this week when it returns from a friend...But my IMMEDIATE advise to you is to take the time to FOCUS MANUALLY and use a tripod to obtain the best results for "macro" photography although the claim is to work with auto-focus lens.

They work great for me, no problems at all. Although I'm using a d3200, your cameras calls for the same battery. If you have any reservations send the seller an E-mail, as long as you're buying from somewhat of a camera accessory vendor. They would know from any backlash from other buyers.

Yes. I have the D40 and use this all the time. You need AF-S lenses for the D40.

Hello. This adapter did not work with my Nikon D3200. I received an error message on my camera that it could not find a lens so would not take any pictures. I could not even focus the lens manually since the camera did not recognize there was a lens at all.

your lenses and both cameras use K-mount, so you can use your old lenses on the K-30. that being said, they almost certainly use a screw drive (with its familiar "whirrr, whirrr"), so you won't see the full autofocus speed improvements available with new SDM lenses (which just go "chick"). also just FYI some new lenses won't be backward compatible with your *ist. in my case, the only old lens i use with the K-30 is the beloved 50mm f1.4. I think the wireless flash should function normally, but that's actually a bit more complicated than the lens question. My understanding is that despite some spec changes, wireless P-TTL works normally, and wireless auto or manual flashes should work just as before.

It sort of works with Nikon DX lenses (but everything is manually controlled for exposure, focus, aperture and shutter speed). If your DX lens does not have a manual aperture ring it is not much use since aperture will be stuck at highest F value (smallest aperture). The much more expensive FT1 adaptor is much more useful and retains the functions of the elctronic lenses (even autofocus if lens is Nikon with its own motor). I had fun with the fotodiox adaptor and old FX lens with manual aperture rings but now use the FT1 with FX and DX lenses.

I would check Nikon's website for compatibility. If I can get my 30 year old manual, film-based Nikon lenses to work with my digital D-40X, I would think this newer lens should work with a newer Nikon digital SLR - Nikon is pretty good with compatibility and they are currently advertising even more modern Nikon SLRs with the same 55-300 VR zoom lens.

I have this lenses and it worked very good on my K500 PENTAX. Which is almost the same as the K50. This I hope is some help.

To be honest, I have no idea. I doubt they will be auto focus if mounted on a Nikon since they aren't compatible. I suspect you'll have to manually focus. Unfortunately, while this mounted fine on my Nikon and said it would work with my model, once I put the lens on, the Nikon didn't recognize there was one on. I ended up returning the mount. Best I could say would be to try it, but don't expect it to auto focus.

I tried two models different sets on my D5100 camera and they DO NOT WORK. They do not seat in until the lens lock clicks into place so the camera does not work with them on it. I tried it on a different model Nikon and it worked fine. I am greatly disappointed! I was really looking forward to using it. I wanted to try a different brand, but need to be able to try it on the camera.

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.

It should work fine on a D40. I've been using it on my D70 have had very good results. It definitely is not built to be used as a lifetime investment, but I have had mine for a few months and haven't had any problems.

I only know that it works with EF-S and EF lenses. I don't know if the others work with it too or not.Sorry.

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.

Yes, they do work. I have a Pentax K20 and it works just fine. You have to go into the software of the camera to insure that the camera picks up the lens.I just looked up the steps on the internet to do it. Also, like Fred stated make sure that your camera is the K-mount not any other mount or it will not fit or work.

Holly,I don't know specifically how that lens would work on the D600. I haven't used any old lenses on my D600 yet. But I have used some old lenses I had for my Nikon FE on my D90 and they would work, BUT they can only be used in completely manual mode (manually set your shutter speed, F-Stop and Focus), so you have to calculate your exposure the old fashioned way based on lighting conditions, ISO setting, etc to figure out the what's the correct Shutter/F-Stop combo to use. Since the D600, D90 and the FE all use the F mount, the older lenses should mount on the D600 and work as they did on my D90. Holly,I don't know specifically how that lens would work on the D600.

I too am curious. Other similar lenses advertise that they work on more camera types. That if they say D3000, or D3200, then it'll work on the same series. For instance, is fails to mention if it works with Nikon D3300, which is what I have. So I'm trying to find out now.Anybody know for sure?Mike in NH
