Will this lens fit my D80? Also curious about the Nikon extended warranty. I guess we'll find out soon enough about the warranty thing as I just ordered one. I need to learn more about lenses, etc.,as most of what I see are much higher priced and the...

Yes it will fit the d80! I have a nikon d80 and that's the camera I use this lens with.

Hi All, very interested in these postings but still can't get this lens to work with my D70 in M or AF. I too get fEE message displayed and shutter won'r fire, even after locking off at f22 etc. Starting to wonder if its a camera setting or am I missing something?

I would also like to know if there is a lens for the D40x that is similar to the Nikon AF f1.8. I thought it would be OK to focus this lens myself but it seems in low light I can't see well enough to focus the lens. Now I'm sorry I bought it because I can't use it for what I intended. It does take nice landscape photos but there is no focusing to worry about at infinity.

Congrats on the nice lens! I have the 17-85. It's better than my 18-55, but I would love to get the 17-55 someday. Heck, I'd like to get a lot of different lenses someday! But being completely new to dslr, I think what I have now will suffice until I get going.

Honestly, there are some available on ebay with buyer protection (but I understand why you would want to get it from the above places instead). The 70-200mm is a great lens, but if you have your heart set on this particular lens you should wait to get this one :)I just ordered one from ebay but I did my research on the seller first.

I am wondering how much longer before the D80 is upgraded. Look at the discussions at nikonians.org.I don't think the D60 has sufficiently more features to justify upgrading from the D40.

I just received my D800 a couple weeks ago. Almost all my images are out of focus, even with simple portraits. I haven't contacted Nikon yet because I'm attempting to return the camera.

I bought the Canon version and like it. The Canon mount WILL NOT work on a Nikon. If you can find the Nikon mount, I think you will like the lens.

I'm so glad there's something posted here - this is one of the lenses I'm considering getting my husband for Christmas. He has the Sigma 50-200mm lens right now and in my experience with it, it hasn't been too bad. Should he be happy with the 18-200?

I don't know why this mail was directed to me. I never have had one in my hands.I just have a D40+18-200mm (GREAT combination) and (unfortunately) a D600 with a green tint that I will return if it does not cure itself (a pun, but technically appropriate)

..for the money it is suppose to be an excellent lens. Read any and all reviews. My issue is with the noisey motor. Check out the lens at a nikon dealer for the final answer. Its a DX lens it will fit the d3000. Not sure exactly how much damping the VR provides, but its pretty good for a $250 55-200mm lens.

I own the D80 with 18-135 lens and love it. Yes, you sacrifice a tad of fabulousness by picking the lens with the broader range, but I wanted bang-for-buck versatility first. I recommend getting at least *one* of the Nikon-Nikkor lenses, since they have proprietary circuitry that (I believe) the after-markets don't. The one thing you'd gain by starting with the 18-55 lens is that it *is* quite a bit smaller. I hate to mention it here, but I found - post-purchase - my local (Atlanta) membership w'house had a kit with *both* lenses for less than I paid for the body + lens.

Not unusual that a this type of thing is in error, happens rather frequently on Amazon and other sites. I don't use Nikon, I use a Pentax K-5 IIs so I'm not that familiar with Nikon. I did check the Tamron site and there is a mount for Nikon so this will fit your camera. Even if you use the FX version of this lens it will still work. I remember reading somewhere that a DX lens can be used on a FX body and the sensor can be cropped for it, kind of neat. Anyway, if you choose to buy this lens, I have no doubt you will love it because it's a highly rated lens for Pentax and many others. I have one and it's unbelievably sharp with excellent contrast ( at least on my camera with my user settings), a limiter and, I think, a very good manual focus ring that has excellent resistance, a clutch would be better, but as is it's very good. Makes an excellent short telephoto at a 1.5 crop. Anyway, I hope this helps and if you choose to buy it you will not be disappointed.

Hi, I have the exact same lens and camera (purchased recently as an upgrade from d90), I will let you know when I do some test shots! I hope they work well together, because it is one of my fav lens. =]

Really quite Good. This is an excellent lens. I still have mine. Maybe the photos I took with it are still on http://amazon.com. Check out Kurtmunger for excellent review of this lens.
