[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 271815, member: 9240"] You have a compatibility issue. Outside of AF-S lenses, here's what Nikon says about the D3000... AF NIKKOR for F3AF not Supported. AF-S, AF-I: All Functions Supported. AI-P NIKKOR: All Functions Supported Except 3D Color Matrix Metering II. Electronic rangefinder can be used if Maximum Aperture is f/5.6 or Faster. IX NIKKOR Lenses Cannot be Used. Non-CPU: Autofocus not Supported. Can be used in Exposure Mode D, but Exposure Meter does not Function. Non-Type G or D AF NIKKOR not Equipped with an Autofocus Motor: All Functions Supported Except 3D Color Matrix Metering II and Autofocus. Type G or D AF NIKKOR: All Functions Supported Except Autofocus. Type D PC NIKKOR: All Functions Supported Except some Shooting Modes. Nothing on there about Ai-S, so I'd have to assume it's not supported. That's the kind of stuff you want to check first. Most of the Ai-S stuff isn't compatible with any of the modern Nikons except for the Df, which is why it's so popular with folks with lots of old glass they haven't been able to use. [/QUOTE]
