[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 846674, member: 48483"] Count those CPU pins on the Vivitar lens and then compare to your other lenses that work. I think you will notice a large difference. It may have been compatible with earlier generation bodies at the time it was built, but then became incompatible by changes to the CPU pin setup over time. And it's a screw-drive AF system also, which means it could only be used as a manual focus lens on your D3200 anyhow. But the CPU pins also communicate metering information, not just focus information. Now I notice there is no feeler-lever for activating the f-stop visible. I say that lens is not for you. [/QUOTE]
