for sure. not sure if autofocus will work, but i recommend learning manual focus. If the d80 is full frame with motor focus then it will be perfect. I find it to be a little cheep feeling, but for the money its worth it.

I have a D80 too and it's an awesome lens. I'm an amateur as well so I don't know too much about photography but this lens has a decent balance between depth of field and zoom for its affordable price.

My understanding is that the lens is compatible with all Nikon Digital camera bodies. I use it with a D90, D800 and D3200. You can check the Nikon site for compatibility. It's a great lens!

Hi Michael, for some reason I've returned this item...Not because of having any trouble! I've decided to but real macro lens instead of using something like that just because of quality of the image with the Nikon macro lenses. Sorry

Yes, you can use this lens on any Nikon that can take G-lenses (like the D3300). But be aware that if you do have a DX/crop sensor (like the D3300), then the lens will work as a 36mm (still at 1.4). It is a spectacular lens, but unless you want to move to a FX/full frame sensor later, there is probably a cheaper alternative in Nikon's DX range. I use it on a D800 and love it!

I have a 35mm nikon n80 will my lenses fit on this camera. I dont want to have to buy new lenses as well as the camera body. I need something that is compatible. Thank you

D80 or D90. Remember, it is NOT the body that counts so much, it's the lenses. You may want to buy used lens for your Nikon (primes, etc) later on. Some lenses will not have internal focus motors and must depend on the camera body for autofocus . D80 and D90 (and above) will accept ALL Nikon F mount and both have an internal motor to drive the earlier auto focus lens' mechanisms. D70 and below do not.straycat

You can use this lens on your camera but there are two things you should be aware of: 1. This is an old fashion manual focus lens. Many photographers prefer them because of the solid metal body construction as well as fine focus control. This lens won't auto focus on any camera, including the one you own. 2. Your camera can only get meter information through electronic auto focus lenses. You need a D200, D300, D700 or any of the professional series Nikon DSLR in order to get meter Information through these manual focus lenses. This is not really a big deal for an experienced photographer. It just means you either use an external meter or take some test shots to determine optimal settings. Hope this helps. Thank you for shopping our store. We appreciate your business.

As per mentioned by the rest, there's no requirement for a separate mount, but you have to buy the one with the correct mount in the first place. That said, I wouldn't recommend the lensbaby for the D800 full frame because it's a cropped sensor lens, and when used on a full-frame, the vignetting is insane. I used it on both the d90 as well as the d700. I would personally spend the money elsewhere though, unless money is not an issue to you.

I'm currently using this lens with Nikon D5200, just get the nikon mount and you're sorted. Very sharp results if you do your part :)

This is why I bought a D800 so I could use all of my old lenses. Use another old lens of the same kind to see if it works but I doubt it just as others have said that it will not work with autofocus. The 35-70 was first sold in 1963 and is still one of the best.

I don't believe so. This lens does not fit my d80. Perhaps if you get a special adapter?

Yes, your camera has the autofocus motor ('screw drive'), so you will have autofocus on with this lens on your body. There is a newer version that will work with the basic nikon models (d3100, d3200, d5000, d5100, etc).

Yes, just make sure to buy the Nikon lens mount. You won't regret buying this lens, very versitile, amazing photos and a great price too.

I use it on my Nikon D70 without any problem, not sure if this helps, but I have found that all my Nikon lenses have been interchangeable with other Nikons that I have used.

I'm having the same problem using this lens on my D80 camera. What you are saying is that there is no way for me to use the ring to adjust the aperture? It only works when locked on 22?? This doesn't seem right.

Yes it will allow you to connect the Nikon lens to a Canon Body (I use a Canon 70D). I have not found a way to get the Auto Functions to work. So plan on a manual lens and you won't be disappointed. There are other reviews that discuss camera settings to use with a manual lens. It is not simple, and I am not familiar with the specifics of your camera.
