None of my bodies 7000, 600 & 700 would allow me to vary the aperture from the controls. So, you might just want to set your wanted aperture on the lens and use it that way. I don't know if the aperture will be recognized by the body to allow you to meter the light though with the 3000... But it probably can be used manually or take the shutter speed reading with the aperture closed (not sure if there is a DoF preview on your model either). Since you have the lens now, you probably will end up getting a D7000 or 7100 to match it. Just make sure the lens works on either by bringing the lens to the store to test it BEFORE you invest in another body.Good luck and enjoy your Nikon.</blockquote>
