I'll try to rephrase it before answering.There are manual focus lenses: AI, AIS and auto focus lenses: AF, AF-D and AF-S.Manual focus lenses will work with almost all cameras but you will have to use the focus ring to attain focus.AF and AF-D lenses will auto-focus with cameras that have a built-in focus motor: D70, 90, 7000, 7100, 600, 700, 800 and maybe more that I'm not aware of. These cameras will be able to auto-focus with AF and AF-D lenses.Other cameras: D3000,3100,3200,5000,5100,5200 don't have a built-in focusing motor. So you can use AF and AF-D lenses with them BUT you will have to manually focus.Only AF-S lenses have their own focusing motor built-in the lens and will auto-focus with the cameras that don't have a focusing motor.Hope this helps.</blockquote>
