Nikkor AF 70-300mm for D60??? Will my Nikkor AF 70-300mm work well with this new body (such as auto-focus) or should I consider upgrading my telephoto lens to the 50-200mm??

your AF 70-300 will not auto focus on the d60. look for lenses that have "AF-S". and while the 55-200mm VR is a good lense, your best bet would be to buy the AF-S 70-300 VR. its an incredible lense for the price. Also your older lenses will work on the D60, though you will have to focus manually.

Hi, thanks question. This lens can not work autofocus for Nikon D3200. Thanks in advance.

Hey Holly. That's one of the benefits of Nikon and the F mount. So long as it's F mount it will work. Their lens mount has evolved over the years, but it was always backwards compatible. I have a few lenses that are in the 30 year range and have no issues with them. By all means use them! some of those are gems.Acutally i only use a 50mm 1.2 AIS on my D600... and that's 31 years old.

I prefer the D50 which uses countless AF lenses. The D40-60 must have a motorized lens to AF. I got two D50s and a D60 for under $250 used, body only. Two were refurbished the other one was pristine. Many AF lenses work on the D50 and can be had for $50 or so.

The lens should work with your Nikon D60. According to Nikon's website, this lens has a Nikon F-Bayonet Mount (See: http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/2197/AF-S-DX-NIKKOR-55-300mm-f%252F4.5-5.6G-ED-VR.html ) -and- the Nikon D60 has a F-Bayonet Mount (See: http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product-Archive/Digital-SLR-Cameras/25438/D60.html ). )

I concur with the earlier response about the higher speed lens although this is working very well for us with the Nikkor 28-300mm AF-S lens using Auto and manual focus.

Sorry I cannot help. 1st I have a Nikon D40x and do not know if there are differences with the D60. 2nd I have had some difficulties with my Neewer lenses and have not had good response from Neewer with my questions. I suggest you try getting help from Neewer before purchasing.

You can use the sigma tc. I have the 300mm f/4 and love it. You can also check out sigma compatibility by going to www.nikonians.org and scanning through nikon lens forum. I believe they have a tc compatibility page Tekneektom

I used this with my 55-300mm lens and it worked, both with my Nikon D7000 and the D7100. I prefer to use the manual focus instead of the auto focus. Automatic focus seemed to have difficulties at times, depending how far I zoomed in. As far as the 18-300 lens, I don't know but I assume it to be similar to my 55-300, so my belief is it should work.

Peterson:I have the same lens and want to buy a D40 - have you figured out yet if it works. From everything I read it should work on manual focus only ?

I have a couple of older auto focus lenses that work great with the D600. You can do a Google search for "Nikon lens compatibility", and you can find charts that show which lenses work with which cameras.

i have the d80 with the 18-70 dx, the 70-300 ed, and the 50 1.8 d nikkors, plus the tokina 12-24 and the tamron 28-75 f/2.8. what glass you put on your d80 to start with should depend on intended uses and experience level. if all you want is an all-in-one lens, go for the 18-135 kit, unless you can afford the 18-200 vr. the 24-120 VR is another sweet after-market option if you go body-only and just want one lens, but you'd probably be better off, however, with either the 18-55 or the 18-70, plus the 55-200 vr. for the size, weight, and cost, they're very good for plastic consumer lenses. the downside is they're fairly slow for (D)SLR lenses, due to narrow apertures at the long end. if low-light photography or action sports is your bag, skip the nikkors altogether unless you can afford the 17-55 2.8 and/or the 70-200 VR. get the d80 body and grab a sigma or tamron 2.8. if w/a is your thing, i'd get one of the 18s (-55, -70, -135, -200) and pair it with the tokina 12-24 or the sigma 10-20. if you're more of a telephoto person, get the 18-55 or -70 and pair it with the inexpensive 70-300 non-vr g lens. the money you save over the ed or vr versions can go toward a good tripod -- unless you really think you're gonna be doing a lot of handheld shooting at 300mm. for macro and portrait work, consider again going body-only with the d80, getting the $100 50 1.8 prime, and maybe the sigma 30, the nikkor 60, and the tamron 90 to round out your selection, which would give you a nice, sharp range. if all of this seems too complicated, look at a fixed-zoom P&S or the d40/18-55 combo.

I am wondering how much longer before the D80 is upgraded. Look at the discussions at nikonians.org.I don't think the D60 has sufficiently more features to justify upgrading from the D40.

Here we are again... easier to ask a question than to read the description...This is what it says in the description...Full AF is capable with lenses having a maximum aperture of F/4.5 or brighter. (Manual focusing will be required with lenses of smaller aperture.) The PRO 300 family is designed specifically to be used with prime telephoto lenses of 100mm or above, such as, a 300 mm f/2.8 lens, and work best with telephoto lenses of 200mm to 500mm.So... YES.... It will work, however you will have to focus manually and it is unlikely you will get accurate metadata.

I have the same camera and was using the 55-200 lens when I broke the 18-55. This is the same lens as the one it came with and will work with your D60.

jESSICA, I got an article from Nikonians that affirm it performs auto focus with D--3100/5100/5000/3000/60 and 40. Don't take my word on this and research a bit more, maybe call Sigma and ask them directly. I hope I helped you in some way.

bought my nikon d40 lately. read good things about the camera through kenrockwell site. it helps me a lot to decide. now am thinking of buying the nikkor 18-200mm VR lense. btw the 50mm f1/4 lense and d40 they say is compatible. but am not so sure how to install the lense in the camera. any suggestions?
