[QUOTE="Sagandh, post: 841129, member: 66123"] Thank you so much Hammer. After your initial reply I tried to match to aperture indicator on the lens to mounting indicator on camera body. Yes the lens sat well immediately but, when I tried to rotate it into the mount to fix the lens, it just wont rotate more than half the distance. Even at that point the aperture ring would stop moving. I felt applying any more pressure would damage the body so stopped trying further and did some more research. Yes, as you pointed out, it is pre AI lens. Then I found the below sheet on nikonians portol which confirmed I should not mount pre AI lens on my d3300. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nikonians.org/reviews/nikon-slr-camera-and-lens-compatibility[/URL] This sheet is actually quite helpful. Thank you again for all the findings. [/QUOTE]
