Nikon Lens Compatibility?

Julie · 03-19-2012, 02:46 PM

Sorry, this is probably a really stupid question and the Nikon owners are probably rolling their eyes at this...

I got this lens, a Quantaray AF LD 70-300 f/4-5.6 Tele-Macro that came with a 35mm Autofocus, Nikon N65 and I was wondering if it will work in AF with all Nikon DSLR bodies? Or is it limited to only select bodies or something?

Here are some (bad) pictures of it:

TIA!

It will work (as in you'll be able to take a picture) with all Nikon DSLR bodies, but will only autofocus on bodies that have a built in motor. So it will not AF on the D40, D60 and D3000/3100 and D5000/5100 series of bodies. Here's a link with more info.

Great, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much.
