Compatibility, Size and Fit
This lens is intended for Nikon F mount SLR cameras and is listed for models including D7500, D5600, D5500, D750, D810, D3300, D5300, D3500, D80, D850, D3400, D500, D7200, D90, D610, D7100, D5200, D600, D3200 and D200, among others.
Because it has no electronic contacts, the camera may need to be set to manual mode, and the shutter release without lens option may need to be enabled on some bodies. Check that your camera supports this style of manual lens before choosing an offer.
Setup and Correct Use
- Attach the lens to a compatible Nikon F mount SLR body.
- Set the camera to manual mode.
- If the camera shows a lens error, enable the shutter release without lens option in the camera menu.
- Use the focus ring near the front of the lens to bring the subject into focus.
- Adjust focus slowly until the subject appears sharp.
Before You Decide
Check that your camera has a Nikon F mount and that you are happy to use a fully manual lens with no electronic contacts. The 420-800mm zoom range and F8.3-16 aperture are the main specification points to compare against your shooting needs. If your body needs autofocus or electronic aperture control, this is not the right type of lens.
