[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 840985, member: 48483"] An F-mount lens will attach like any other. The top will be where you see the aperture ring indication. Align that about where the indicator is on the body then it will fit. Does the D3300 have non-CPU lens entry in the setup menu? If it does not, you won't be able to use the camera's metering. If there is a menu entry for non-CPU lens, then you can enter the minimum f-stop and focal length there. The metering then will work, but you will be operating in manual mode. You must set ISO manually, rotate the ring on the lens to set f-stop, and you adjust shutter speed the regular way with the dial on the back. If no menu entry, you buy a handheld light meter and learn to operate that. [/QUOTE]
