[QUOTE="blackstar, post: 745372, member: 47518"] Thanks for so many responses. I tried M mode with Live View (set to f22 on lens aperture ring); can't adjust aperture on either D3500 body or lens aperture ring (info show closed aperture with no f number); but no err message of "incompatible lens"; focus and shoot -- it fires! for outside far scene, exposure ok (iso set to 800); for close up scene, it's all dark (apparently aperture closed). Back to P mode (with auto iso) -- Live View won't work and aperture can't be adjusted also; err: incompatible lens; focus and shoot -- no fire! The aperture ring has "NI" red label which indicates "Nikon" version instead of Cannon's "CA". B&H's Nikon camera list for this lens is specifying the lens designed for, not compatible with. (there are plenty users share their positive usage of this lens with their D3xxx) Finally, "Are you sure there are contacts at the lens' base to give lens information to the body?" and "are you sure you got a lens that has the CPU contacts?" Frankly, I tried (looking into the instruction Manual and the lens rear base) and still unsure. The thing I wonder is the properness of the way I install the lens to my D3500.
