[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 495948, member: 7240"] Hi, Short answer: it will fit, but it won't autofocus. And optically it sucks. You'll need lenses with [B]AF-S[/B] designation. Longer answer: there are two versions of 70-300G. The older is [B]AF 70-300 f/4~5.6 G[/B] and the newer [B]AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5~5.6 G [/B]The former lens doesn't have its own focusing motor, so it requires that the camera body has a focusing motor. Your camera doesn't. The latter lens fits and focuses in your camera, but is a lot more expensive. In the current camera lineup the "lowest" bodies with focusing motor are D7x00 and D6x0. How about AF-S VR 55-200mm f/4~5.6G? It is optically good, has camera shake reduction (VR), is reasonably priced and will autofocus with your camera body. Sidenote: There's also a third 70-300, but that won't autofocus with your camera either, although optically it is pretty good: [B]AF 70-300 f/4-5.6 D ED[/B]. I won't recommend that either for cameras that don't have the autofocus motor, but otherwise it is a good walkaround performer. [/QUOTE]
