I have D40 SLR with tripod. Is the lens mountable to both Tripod and Camera? Does it come with Lens adapter for D40 as well as mount for tripod?

There is an additional tripod mount on the lens and it balances quite well. I have a D70 and a D5200 and the adapter ring for Nikon fits both.

You need to buy a Nikon F mount adaptor when you but the Opteka lens. Also the tripod mount has to be very strong/sturdy. I mount the lens on my tripod and I use a monopod to support the camera. The Opteka lens is an okay lens. If you are expecting "dynamite" pictures you will be disappointed. A lens at the price of the Opteka can't compare to a multi thousand dollar Nikon lens.

Hi George, it includes the adapter for your camera. The cool thing is that you can buy adapters for other cameras such as Canon or Nikon and use the same lens.

Yes it does. It's not centered under the lens like you might expect, but you can mount it no problem to any standard tripod.

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

The Sigma site says that this lens is compatible with Nikon D40. The autofocus and auto exposure should work well. I use it on a D5000 and have been very impressed with the lens.

This paticular version came with a MFT (micro four thirds) adapter. I am using it on my Panisonic GH4. No Nikon mount. I feel like I saw this lens with a Nikon mount on Amazon though. You may want to hunt around on Amazon a bit more. If I'm right then I'd expect it to be pretty clearly labeled as including a Nikon mount.

The lens has a metal plate with screw holes for mounting on a tripod. I have a couple of quick-release lens mounts that came with my tripod. I screwed one on this lens and leave it there, that way I can attach and detach the lens from the tripod without having to take the time to screw it on. It works great. You should have no problem mounting this lens to your tripod.

I did not own a d40 but the mounts from my knowledge never changed at all and all of my old lenses work fine in manual mode as that is the best way to use them . Really happy with my new nikon .I like how it shoots in manual as well as auto

The lens is cheap second hand and takes sharp photos, so I like it. I believe that the lens does not come with a built in auto focus motor, so if the D40 does not have a built in AF motor then it will only focus manually. My D90 works with this lens because the camera has a built in AF motor.

Yes, I have a Nikon D40x and it works great! Go hiking with it all the time with the zoom lens and it doesn't bounce around.

I'm using it with a Nikon D40 and the package comes with different size bracket attachments to allow it to fit on a different size lens. You take the different bracket attachments and see if they screw on the lens you are using then the Looper, has a clap that attaches to the bracket, very secure attachment.

This is not a lens actually , it is a magnifier that fits on top of the actual lens ,, for example , you have the nikon D40 an you attach the 18-55 lens to the camera ... Then you put the magnifier attached to the 18-55 lens .. I hope this answer your question

The mount on the lens should have a threaded hole that the detachable part of your tripod mount will screw into, then you mount that on your tripod. That is if that is the kind of tripod you have, some tripods I have seen just have a screw come up the you thread onto the camera or in this case the lens.

You could mount it with an adapter, however it did not work with Nikon D5000, even on complete manual settings. Resulting in fuzzy pictures. I still have it, as a useless accessory.

The writeup says it will fit your d40. I use the k1000 lenses With my D3100 and it does what it is supposed to do. Just remember that the lens will be manual only and you need to adjust for the added focal length.

Yes, since the D40 is a DX camera, and the 55-300 VR lens is made for Nikon DX cameras, it is compatable. I use it on my D3200 DX camera.
