Solid lens, but it is not compatible with the D60. The camera kept insisting that I open it to f22, and it would not autofocus. Very disappointing.

In all the reviews or specs it does not tell clearly if it is compatible with Nikon D50. i bought and could not use it, so i returned it.

There is no problem and they gave me a coupon of $10 for next purchase.

The description plainly states this lens is for Nikon SLR cameras, however that is not entirely true.

The Nikon DX-60 does not have an onboard servo to auto-focus the lens but instead depends on the servo being on the lens. Since this lens does not have an onboard servo, the auto-focus will not work on Nikon DX60's.

I would assume this to be true of the other DX model cameras that do not have onboard servos such as the DX-60.

Amazon needs to clarify which models this will auto focus with. Rating: 1 / 5

I received the lens, couldn’t wait to use it in action. The lens has NO AUTOFOCUS with the D60!!! What an incredible disappointment! How could a Nikon lens not have AF on a camera that was just released? This makes no sense but it works fine on a d300…no fair! Shots are sharp but it stinks to go back in time and have to manually focus.
