[QUOTE="nickt, post: 532243, member: 4923"] The 420-800 appears to be a 'T-mount'. [url=http://www.amazon.com/420-800mm-Telephoto-UV-CPL-FL-Macro-Photo-Cleaning/dp/B00PMBQIKS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455038446&sr=8-1&keywords=opteka+hd2+420-800]Amazon.com: Opteka 420-800mm f/8.3 HD Telephoto Zoom Lens Bundle Package includes 8GB Memory Card + 5 Piece UV-CPL-FL-Macro 10x-ND4 Filters + Snap On Lens Cap with Cap Keeper + Lens Pen + Air Dust Blower + $50 Gift Card for Digital Photo Prints + Cle[/url] If I am correct, you just need a Nikon T mount [url=http://www.amazon.com/UltraPro-adapter-Mount-Digital-Cameras/dp/B00893PX66/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455039006&sr=8-1&keywords=Nikon+T+mount]Amazon.com : UltraPro T/T2 Lens Mount adapter for Nikon SLR Mount.
