If it's the model that sets aperture electronically from the camera, then it should meter. If there is no electronic link for the aperture setting, then it won't. You may want to visit a big-box store and try the lens on a store sample. If the lens has an aperture ring, set it to the narrowest aperture (highest f number) if there is no specific marking for automatic setting.

The lens should meter just fine, but no auto focus. Only the newer Tamron lens with micro motors in them will auto focus on the D60.

The lens should work fine, but it will not autofocus on the D60. Only AF-S lenses autofocus on the lower end Nikon dslr's (D40/D40x/D60).

Peterson:I have the same lens and want to buy a D40 - have you figured out yet if it works. From everything I read it should work on manual focus only ?

The biggest difference is how close you want to get to your subject? What will you be shooting macros of the most? Is the Tamron a 2.8 also? Because that is a very nice aperture to have. As to whether the Tamron will work, I honestly don't know because I'm not familiar with your camera. The Tamron website should be able to tell you. I know people with Tamron lenses and they like them.

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

I bought the Nikon-FX version for non-AI lenses, works fine on X-Pro1. Since the sensor is not FF I don't see why you should have any problem with DX lenses - just tested a Tamron 28-75DX, not problem. This model is for lenses that have an adjustable aperture ring. Later Nikkors do not so that is the crucial issue depending on what lenses you have.

I have a Nikon mount of this lens and I also have the Nikon's top of the line 70-200 VRII lens and the images produced by my copy of this lens are as sharp as the Nikons 70-200. I liked my copy of this Tamron lens better than the Nikon 24-70mm lens. I would say give it a shot and if you get a good copy of this lens it will be a keeper.

I purchased this lens to use as a flexible architecture and portrait lens on my Nikon D90. The lens did not autofocus when on my DSLR, and I had to return it. This may have been due to a defect in the lens, however. I hate to encourage buying something just to see if it will work for, only to have to return it, but if you have no other way to confirm that the lens works on your D40 then you may have to do that. Best bet would be to contact Tamron directly to ask them.Good luck!

i bought that lens for my d7000 and had great success with it . i gave my daughter the camera and lens and since have bought the d800 and liked the lens so much i bought it again for that camera . with that said i recently sold that lens and am in the process of getting the newest nikon lens the 80-400mm . to sum up my reply great lens but its my understanding that because of the wide range the sensor area is always affected but should work fine when used on your d700...i believe this lens is a great buy

I have a couple of older auto focus lenses that work great with the D600. You can do a Google search for "Nikon lens compatibility", and you can find charts that show which lenses work with which cameras.

I use this on a D200. I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work on a D600. I also want to add that for the money it's been a investment investment. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask. Sincerely, Tom Nolan

Tamron told me there is a firmware update that must be installed to work well with the 70D. It was just developed about two months ago. Any lenses made before then will need the update installed. I just sent me lens to Tamron this week for them to update it. Up to this point I could only take a handful of pictures at a time before it brought up an error message telling me to clean the contacts on the lens or camera (can't remember the exact wording). I'm hoping all is well when I get the lens back this week.

Hello Dear Thank you for asking us. We guess It will work on Nikon D series . But we don't guarantee it, because Tamron can guarantee it only. You secure want to guarantee you should ask it to Tamron. We show the link for it below. https://tamronjp-contact.secure.force.com/inq_vf_encontact We can answer any questions from you , anytime. best regards

Yes, it would. I don't think there's any danger of the rear-element of the lens coming into contact with the glass lens in the Fotodiox adaptor. It's definitely worth the money to try it out. I assume you're going to use it on a Nikon. In fact, unless you can afford to pay more than 1000 for a Nikon lens, you're better-off with a Sigma. From what I've seen and read, Nikon 'amateur' zooms are not very good, whereas Sigma lenses give their purchasers much satisfaction. I'm coming to realise that many of my 'old' Minolta MC lenses are superior to their Nikon contemporaries. I've bought a Sigma 400mm f5.6 APO lens, 2nd-hand, and it's really good. I'm using the Fotodiox adaptor for my Minolta 135mm, 200mm & 300mm lenses and the results inspire confidence in the quality of the adaptor. In fact, the main reason for buying a Nikon digital isn't for the Nikon lenses, it's for the range of products available for the 'F'-mount. Having gone to the expense of buying the 'full-frame' D600, I can now enjoy the wonderful images created by the Tamron SP17mm f3.5 and the Sigma 21-35mm f3.5, rather than being 'stuck' with cropped-sensor images.

The Tamron AF 28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di LD Lens Aspherical [IF] MACRO, works "without limitation" according to the website of Pentax. I use a Sony A99 and I have nothing to complain about, especially f: 8 and up. Good luck!

Yes, the Tamron 200-500 lens will work with the Nikon D200. It is designed to work on any Nikon autofocus camera, whether it needs an internal focus motor or a screw drive for a camera body autofocus. Since the D200 will work with either type D or type G lenses, it will work with the Tamron.

Yes, this lens is designed to be used on a full-frame camera. Usually Tamron's "Di" designation is for crop sensor cameras, but it does not apply for this lens. Here is an article evaluating the lens. http://www.photozone.de/Reviews/288-tamron-af-17-35mm-f28-4-di-ld-aspherical-if-nikon-lab-test-report--review?start=1

The devil is in the details, but if the Tamron lens is actually a "Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO", it works fine. The catch for all Nikon mount lenses is based on the fact that these D5xxx and D3xxx cameras (so both the D5300 and D3300, for example) don't have a focus motor in the body. So if you have a lens that needs that motor to focus (as opposed to using its own, built-in, motor), the lens cannot autofocus (although it will work fine optically as long as you manually focus it). This isn't a Nikon/not-Nikon issue: my Micro-Nikkor AF 105mm f/2.8D will NOT autofocus with this camera, but my (newer) AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED will. The newer lens has the built-in focus motor (that's what the "AF-S" means), while the older one doesn't (just "AF").

Hello James:I use the 12-24mm lens on my Nikon D300 and it works just fine so I imagine it would work on your D60 without any issues. That said, just to make sure why don't you call Nikon Technnical Assistance for assurance. To date I have used my 12-24mm lens primarily for architecture an closeup and am very pleased. Before purchasing this lens I was seriously considering the Tokina 11-16mm which is a superb lens, but I thought the short focal length would frustrate me. I hope this helps. Take care,
