[QUOTE="Pete6, post: 846675, member: 70458"] Taking what you said in order, yes, obviously there are less pins. The Vivitar lens has 5 and my other lenses have 10. Yup this lens will do less. The screw AF body driven motor system is clearly not going to work on the D3200 body which does not have an internal motor. I knew that when I bought the lens. I started out without AF so figured I could manually focus. Both manual focus and zoom work fine. I am OK with that. The aperture lever is, in fact there on the lens and it works but it was not visible in my picture. My bad. All that said, this lens should at least take pictures on my body. It will be a bit like using my old Nikon F (but not so heavy). The Vivitar only cost me $65 delivered so I am not out a lot and anyway I can return it for a refund. What I really wanted was a NIKKOR AF-S 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR but these are 10 times the price of what I paid even used. I may just have to stick my hand in my pocket and buy one though. Now, if you or anyone else here knows how to get rid of the fEE error in my viewfinder I would be most grateful before I go and spend more money. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
