Had the same issue with a Nikon d5100, but after a few tries it was resolved. Check the following:1- for some reason, the lens didn't fit in with the camera, but after trying a couple of times it finally clicked into position2- there is a ring near the lens (the left part of the product picture) that must be slide out for the lens to autofocus. After you slide it you'll see the AF appear from under the ring, beore that there is only MF ( manual focus) visibleAfter these two the lens worked perfectlyHope it helps

I don't know about your specific Camera and lens but Auto Focus is spotty with my Nikon and Tamron 18-270.

This is why I bought a D800 so I could use all of my old lenses. Use another old lens of the same kind to see if it works but I doubt it just as others have said that it will not work with autofocus. The 35-70 was first sold in 1963 and is still one of the best.

It works only on manual focus, it has a standard and fixed 5.6 aperture. On specific Nikon models, I tested it on D7100, it works in Aperture Priority Auto mode (switch the main command dial on "A") so the camera will choose for you the best shutter speed for better exposition.

I use mine on a Tamron 18-80 lens. The autofocus works fine until it reaches the 4.5 focal length, as stated on the product description, this is around 55 mm, on my lens. anything higher than that I have to switch to manual Focus. I am very happy with the results I am getting while using it...

yes, this lens will fit and auto focus on your D50. I purchased it a few years ago to pair withmy D50, but returned it, as my 18-70 was just as sharp.

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!

You have to make sure that the auto focus is compatible. For example if you have a lens that has no focus motor it would not work on this model camera.A Nikon/Nikkor lenses with AF-S and AF-I should be compatible with the auto focus of this camera. You can Google search "(camera model) compatible lenses" to find a link to Nikon or cannon chart of what is compatible with that camera.

I was so glad to see this question here! I have a D50 also and was a bit confused too after reading other descriptions of this lens.

I have some nikon lenses from my nikon f3, i have some lenses from nikon d90, i have some sigma lenses they all work fine for me but ofcourse no autofocus you have to set nikon1 to manual in order to use all these lenses. For example 50mm 1:1.2 lens is doing a great job. I hope this info is enough if not i can write more. For$20 this is good product. No need to spent $200 just for auto focus for the autofocus lenses.

Yes, if you buy the Nikon mount version. It is a manual focus lens, so autofocus will not work. Auto aperture should be OK.

It will not work with Auto Focus because of the D3300's lack of a screw-drive (a small motor that drives the lens' focusing.) It can still be used by manual focusing, but there are better alternatives for your camera. Look for a lens with a motor in the lens. Hope this helps!

Hi, This lens as you says the D3000, D5000, D7000 in the series of camera does not work for the auto focus. And you can manual shooting. Thanks in advance.

This is a type "G" lens which should autofocus with the Nikon D80. Reference this chart... https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/57/~/what-lenses-can-i-use-with-the-d100,-d80,-d70s,-d70,-or-d50%3F

I'm using the 2x converter with that exact same lens on my Canon Rebel T3. It works fine, but I have a hard time getting it to auto focus. It keeps going in-and-out of focus and runs the battery down in about 5 minutes of trying. I think this is more due to my shaky hands and the extra weight of the converter than anything. Tripod might solve the problem-----haven't tried that yet.

Yes, the auto focus works perfectly. My D5100 is the best cam sin the old slr days that I still own. I would have the cam checked out for a malfunction if yours is not working. Take care and good luck with a great camera.
