Old manual Nikkor lenses: Does anyone know if I can use my old totally manual lenses with the D5000?

You've probably figured this out by now, but in case anyone is browsing this forum later on and still wants the answer, I thought I'd post. I use old manual focus Nikon lenses on this camera all the time. There is no auto focus, but they work perfectly fine in manual mode. I have a 10 dollar wireless remote I bought off of Amazon that works great for long shutter exposures.

Yes, this lens will work with a Nikon D5000 camera. However, it is a manual focus lens only.

Hello Shaun. Since the d5000 is a crop frame and the tamron 10-24 is a crop frame lens it should work. I recommend you check compatibility on tamrons official site.

As long as your older manual focus lenses use the same mount as on the D40x, you will be able to use them. The D40x uses in-lens autofocus and does not have a motor in the body the same way your current SLR does not.

There is no AF support for non AF-S lenses with the D3000 or the D5000. Manual focus only

No, the D5000 uses SD/SDHC. http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product-Archive/Digital-SLR-Cameras/25452/D5000.html

This lens can mount to all Nikon Cameras. This lens can only be used as a manual lens on D5000 series cameras, meaning that you need to set the focus and exposure yourself. So while it is an excellent lens you need to apply photographic principles yourself using a light meter and manual focus to enjoy the benefits of this lens.

If you have a D5000, you will have to manually focus the 85mm f1.8D lens. To get an Auto Focus lens for this level of camera would require the 85mm f/1.8G lens. It is important to know whether your camera has an autofocus engine or not.

The sigma 24-70 is also for full frame (DG), but yes, it'll work with the d5000 and it's cheaper than the nikon.

Yes! But, manual focus only because this lens requires an AF motor in the body but the d5100 does not have one.

That camera and most newer nikons will provide the focus assist dot when you manually focus which helps. You will have to use only manual exposure mode and set the aperture and shutter manually with no camera assistance for each shot. Some higher end nikon cameras can provide metering info with this lens, but not the 5000 series cameras. Compatible yes, but having to set everything manual, it is only practical for still shots.

Holly,I don't know specifically how that lens would work on the D600. I haven't used any old lenses on my D600 yet. But I have used some old lenses I had for my Nikon FE on my D90 and they would work, BUT they can only be used in completely manual mode (manually set your shutter speed, F-Stop and Focus), so you have to calculate your exposure the old fashioned way based on lighting conditions, ISO setting, etc to figure out the what's the correct Shutter/F-Stop combo to use. Since the D600, D90 and the FE all use the F mount, the older lenses should mount on the D600 and work as they did on my D90. Holly,I don't know specifically how that lens would work on the D600.

If the old lenses as Pentak K-mount lenses; but check with the experts on Pentax Forums (which has FAQs about this).

Yes, but. I also have a K1000 and I have put the lenses on my new K500. They do not operate in the automatic mode setting (on the side of the K-500). I set the lever to MF instead of AF.S or C and they work well. Obviously, the aperture as well as the focus is manual.

I did not own a d40 but the mounts from my knowledge never changed at all and all of my old lenses work fine in manual mode as that is the best way to use them . Really happy with my new nikon .I like how it shoots in manual as well as auto

Hello,I too was confused when I first bought that camera. especially after purchasing lenses for it and getting the wrong ones. This lens is not going to work with your camera. The camera is great but it doesn't have a focus motor in the actual camera itself. So, you have to make sure all the lenses you buy have a motor in them. They will say AF-S in the title. They are easily distinguishable by the buttons on the side of the lens (M/AF). Similar to the stock lens that comes with the D5000. Hope this helps !
