Will this lens work with my Nikon d3000?

Yes it does but you will have to manually focus it since the D3000 doesn't have a built in autofocus motor.

It will work but not as an Auto focus lens - it is only auto focus on models that have a motor inside the camera itself - 3000 and 5000 series do not.

Hello. It will NOT auto-focus on a Nikon D3000, only manual focus will work. Since this is a tele lens, I won't recomend to use it on a dx camera. Because it will be difficult to see if you nailed focus just by looking through the viewfinder. I have a Nikon d600, and since my camera does have a focusing motor, autofocus does work on my camera. It is not a heavy lens. I use it as my emergency replacement lens, while my main lens is a Sigma 70-200 f/2.8.

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

The Info says the Nikon D300 one of the only Nikons that work with Tamron 200mm-500mm Lens. It will have a slow aperture at 500mm. The lens does not have an internal auto focus. But your camera does . So auto autofocus should work.

Yes it will. I use the lens with my D800. It's a surprisingly sharp lens for the price.

I don't know. Go to the manufacturers website and research. If it will work with a D40, it should work with a D3000.

Yes is is completely compatible. Your D300 has the in-body focus motor that this lens needs. If yu have the kits 18-55 lens on your D300 set the zoom ring to 20mm. This lens will have the exact same field of view as the zoom set to 20mm. But this lens is about 2 stops faster.

It should as long as the view finder is not circular. Generally Nikon makes 2 kinds of view finders, circular and rectangular. The D300 has a rectangular viewfinder so it should fit.

Yes it will work on the D300 but check for lens compatibility as the TC-17E II will not fit all Nikon lenses.

It should. I have used it with D5000. I see no reason why it should not work with D3000. Please see: http://lenshero.com/lens/Nikon-AF-S-DX-VR-55-200mm-f4-5.6G-IF-ED-lens

Yes, it will work and autofocus with both cameras. It's a pretty good lens for its age and has enough IQ for those cameras. I bought a used one for my D300 and get nice results.

Yes, this should work on a d3000. It affixes and mounts to the lens body just like any other SLR lens.

Yes it will work but as the d300 is not full from it will have a focal length of ~30mm

YES, it will work...get a lens cover to protect the lens as a safety measure...but your camera may not get the full benefits of the lens it being a D3000...

Yes, it will work with the D3000, D3100, and D3200, along with all of the other D-Series cameras I'm familiar with.

It should be fine. It works on my D300 and D800 and I believe the D300s has the same connection.

Yes. It will look like a 42-450mm through the view finder since the D3000 is a DX format.
