IS this a Manual lens, right? Does it expose correct at least? I had issues with D7000 and Fisheye rokinon 8 mm underexposing. I moved to FX 750

On my camera, I have to set the focal length and enable the exposure ring function when using this lens. Once complete, everything is automated but the focus.

Yes this lens does focus, if you have exposure issues it has nothing to do with the lens. Exposure is what you set on the camera.

Yes mam it is. I use mine on my D7000. I love this lens but I'm really looking forward to shooting it on an FX camera. Works just fine on DX however.

That lens is really only good for DX. It will work at longer focal lengths for FX - but not the entire zoom range.

I use this lens on my 5D Mark II with great success. Set the camera to AV mode for automatic exposure, works just like normal AV mode except you use the dial on the lens to set the aperture rather than the dial on the camera. TV mode isn't available. Manual mode obviously can be used as well. There is no autofocus, but focus is very forgiving. I usually flip over to LiveView for a few seconds to focus the lens. Even on a 5DII the lens is amazingly sharp, beyond what I'd expect out of most L series lenses. Sweet spot is around F/5.6 or so, but it's sharp as tacks all the way to 2.8.

I just received one of these today. There is no autofocus on the D60 for this lens, so you have to set it on M. Also, if you want the aperature to be set by the camera, you must lock the aperature setting ring. I've only been playing with it for a few minutes, but I've noticed you cannot always open the aperature to f/2.8 using the camera controls; sometimes only f3.3.

If you're going to use it for mostly still subjects, portraits, etc, you would probably be fine. My only beef with manual focus lenses is that it usually takes me a lot longer to find my focus than with an AF lens - and when I'm trying to catch people interacting at a wedding reception, I lose the shot if I don't get it focused quickly. Since you've been using manuals for a long time, you're probably quicker at it than I am. A major part of the problem with using manuals on Nikon digital cameras is the "focus (not) assist" system. You don't have the same focus guide you do in most 35mm cameras; it's just a little green dot that flashes on when you're focused. Trying to get it focused can involve a lot of trial and error, and by the time you've got it, the shot is gone. I have a D70, and this may have changed for the D80, but I'm fairly certain it has not, as I've looked at one in the store and that would have been one of the first things I checked (and, had it been changed, I would have been so excited I would have remembered). If you're going to be doing much action work, I might consider getting an AF lens for it eventually, but you could probably survive for a while without them. Or, it seems like the kit lenses have a pretty good resale value if you wanted to try it and re-sell it later - they're going for around $300 on eBay. All that said, my favorite lens on my D70 is a circa-1970 50mm F/1.4 Nikkor (S series, I think) manual prime with the metal casing - it's absolutely crystal clear and the shots I get with it are positively stunning. Having difficulty trying to pick up its 28mm cousin though... everyone wants one!

Not sure. I have a tamron 17-50, which is a dx lens and not bad but am selling it anyway to upgrade to an fx lens.

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.

It depends upon the lens (if it's a prime), and/or the focal length (if it's a zoom).I frequently use the excellent 35mm f/1.8 DX lens in FX mode on my D700. There is certainly some fall off at the corners, but it works well for my uses (location portraits, and indoor people events).

This lens will mount on any modern Nikon camera dating back from decades into the 35mm film days. What you need to remember is that regardless of the camera, there is no autofocus for this lens, and in most cases, there is no metering either. You must do everything with this lens with your camera on M mode (manual). It most likely will not work with any other mode on your dial. However, after you take a shot, you can simply look at your histogram and see what adjustments need to be made. Also, if you have the luxury of time, with still subjects, you can also zoom in to check your focus. On more recent higher end cameras, like the D7000 and later, and the D750 and so on, there are modes to accommodate the older lenses, such that you can meter through them, which simplifies the process of getting the aperture and other settings correct. Just remember that apart from ISO, all other settings must be done on the lens itself rather than the camera, and so you must use the M mode.

It's a great portrait lens. It will be wonderful on the a d40. I think that it really comes into it's own on fx though. That way you can really take advantage of the narrow depth of field as well as precise focus .

The spec's I've seen on this lens indicate this as compatible with FX and DX cameras. This lens is my work-horse for shooting birds in flight with a D7000 (a DX camera body).

I have used these tubes with my Nikkor FX lenses (24-120 and 70-300) on my D700 and have had no issue. The zooming action of your lens serves as the method for focusing (I found this out using a bellows and a zoom lens many years ago), so if you are looking for autofocusing to work, you may be disappointed.

It will work but the Nikon 24-85 F/3.5-4.5G is the better choice for the FX D700. The 18-70 is a DX lens.

The lens that I bought was for a D5200 . Dx mount. It works on my D7100 also.Like I said Dx mount not Fx.

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.
