Will the VR still work on a DX lens, or us that controlled by the normal cameras?

No functions work. This is a simple physical adapter. I found it works best with old manual lenses. There are not any electronic connections. With g series lenses (no aperture ring) you will be stuck shooting wide open.

it may work to your DX lens, however, since the adapter has no wire connection, your lens basic become manually controlled lens. then, you really have to spend a lot of time to figure out how to set up speed and aperture. my experience: it dose not worth it.

There are no electrical contacts, at least on my adapter, to enable VR to work. Of greater concern is that DX lenses have no aperature ring and when mounted will be set to minimum aperature of f/22 or f/32. Older lenses with an aperature ring can be adjusted.

Hi Art,I did purchase this lens adapter for my V1 camera but have not got a chance to use it, however from my understanding this adapter will adapt the lens to the camera body but no camera controls from the camera body is connected. Basically it will be in manual mode. Hope this helps.

What the manual says--DX lenses are for use only with DX-format digital single-lens reflex cameras such as the D7000 or D3000 series. I have a D5200 and it works on it.

I don't know for a fact, but a couple websites do show it as compatible with the 18-140 Ed VR lens. I honk it is worh a shot. Good luck.

Most zoom lenses are VR at least that's what I always look for. A VR lens especially a lens that goes to 200mm is very helpful.

I have a D3200 and autofocus is fast to f / 4, it takes much less to focus, and the VR lens does not work with it

Yes, but you'll only be able to use it in DX mode. In FX, it will vignette at wide angle.

Its a standard lens you will find on most DSLR cameras except it has VR technology. I have owned a couple of SLR cameras and mostly Nikon. This this is great, Great clear pictures and the HD movies are super clear. The VR is Vibration Reduction (VR) is an image stabilization technology that minimizes blur caused by camera shake. Using a VR NIKKOR lens can result in sharp images in low light, under windy conditions or when using a physically large NIKKOR lens, at up to four stops slower with a VR lens than a non-VR lens. I hope this helps, If anything happened to my camera I would buy another. All though I didn't get everything pictured, not sure why...

It will work, this lens is a full frame lens, so it will work on both dx & fx bodies

I would also like to hear about this from someone who knows. I was planning on getting the kit lens and buying the 70-300mm VR Nikkor lens with it thinking that the VR technology makes them superior, but most people are very unimpressed with the kit lens. One reviewer was raving about Sigma lenses for the D90, such as Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 AF APO DG OS HSM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras. I am now seriously rethinking my lens purchase plan.

yes It works. I usually use it with a large zoom lens on a tripod and then I switch the VR off. The autofocus and metering works like normal as long as you have enough light.

A DX lens will work with a DX (cropped sensor) or FX (full frame/35mm size sensor) camera. The downsize of a DX lens is that is not wide enough to utilize the full resolution of a FX sensor, which is why you want this expensive-ass camera in the first place. I was lucky enough to have old NIKKOR film lenses lying around, which happen to work with the d610 auto-focus.

Yes it will work. But...it is NOT a "VR" ( Vibration Reduction) lens. I have this lense and I now wish I had purchased the VR version. This lense is a lot cheaper but the "VR" makes a really big difference in taking photos. Spend the extra cash and purchase the "VR" version. Good Luck.

No, I would highly suggest going for the VR version for a few extra bucks. This is obsolete. I also would suggest getting a new version as this lens is old and many used ones won't operate correctly.

will work on either as both cameras are DX format and your autofocus will work perfectly.

Are you comparing it to the lens without VR. I work for Nikon and the price was actually the same price I get with my employee discount and it didn't include the extra filters. I used the lens on my d3100 to get some incredible shots of the lunar eclipse

I know that it is for a dx instead of full frame and you may get some vignetting but that is not always true. I would google 11-16 full frame vignetting to see what others have experienced. luke

I agree. VR adds vibration reduction, which will make it easier to take photos in lower light without blur.Auto mode is good, but I find that I prefer P mode, which allows a little more customizability. The best thing you can do, I think is learn the shortcuts, so you can make simple modifications without navigating all the menus.
