[QUOTE="aroy, post: 569843, member: 16090"] Welcome to the forum D3300 has no AF motor so only those lenses that have a built in AF motor will AF. Every lens has a specification sheet, so go through it. If it says that the lens has a motor fine. If it is silent, then for all probability it does no and it wll not AF on D3300 Manual lenses will of course not AF, but those that have no CPU will not even meter. Nikon MF lenses have no CPU so will not meter. Modern third party lenses have CPU so will meter. All the FX bodies sold by Nikon have both an internal motor as well as facility to meter Nikon AIS non CPU MF lenses. So if you want these facilities you have to get either D7xxx if you want to remain with DX format or the D6xx, D7xx and D8xx FX bodies. [/QUOTE]
