Wrong. Any AF-I or AF-S Nikkor will autofocus on the OP's camera, whether or not the lens has a "D" designation.

Wrong ??? You’ve agreed with me. Read me again ... just a little slower this time.

Follow my advice or follow your advice. Either way the same choices will result.

I agree with you. I look at it as a possible scam. Just my opinion

Possibly. But it never triggered my own scammer radar. I just don’t deal with dumbazzes. I don’t wish them ill, but they go their way and I go mine. If you can’t bother to proof read your request for my money, then I’ll take my money elsewhere. Works for me. YMMV.

Not to argue, but you stated that - ... none of the so-called “D type” oldies would work ... - I merely pointed out which of the so-called “D type” oldies would work.

Ok here’s what I mean by “so-called ‘D-type’ oldies”:

shaft driven lenses, lacking built-in AF motors, *commonly referred to* as the “D type lenses”.

Acoarst you’re correct about AFS/AFI lenses. But those are not the “oldies commonly called D-type”. Notice that I recommended that a sure way to avoid the wrong lenses is to avoid aperture control rings which identify these so-called D-type oldies.

Basically, follow your wording or mine and you’ve chosen lenses with internal AF motors. If that’s not correct advice, please point out where it fails.

We don’t always agree on things, but here I’m NOT seeing how we do NOT agree. Kinda ironic ...

I have a Nikon D5300 and have been looking for a telephoto lens, Found this on market place and was wondering, knowing if I make this intire purchase, would the lens be compatable and worth the purchase.

The camera Body is a D90 which is now retired, but when I googled it was quite a expensive body. So I quess what I am asking in the round about way is, Does this look like a good deal. They are asking 200.00.


Nikon D90 camera with (1) 18-105 mm lens f/3.5-5.6G ED AF-S VR DX Nikon Zoom Lenslt ; (1) 59 mm lens; (1) 300 mm lens; (1) TT560 Speedlite external flash; (1) carrying case; cleaning kit; pelican memory cardholder. Battery and charger. Price is firm. The lens is a GEd VR lens too, a higher more costly one too to help with the reduction of vibration.

Update: Thank you to all that have responded to my question, Yes I decided to jump the gun and make the purchase, and I am IN LOVE!!!! The deal was from a woman who had pruchased theses from a profesional photographer friend and had not gotten into the photo bug like she had thought. The lens work with my camera and by far exceeded my expectations. I have looked up the values on the lens and she had far underpriced the package deal. I told her this and she said she was happy with what she wanted with them and glad that I would get use of them. Not all people are out there to scam you.

AF-S NIKKOR 18-105mm $399.00
AF-S NIKKOR 50M $216.00
AF NIKKOR 70-300mm $169.00
D90 camera $150.00
AlTURA backpack (AMAZON) $59.99

All lens looked new and worked with my D5300 24 megapixel format with autofocus except the NIKKOR 70-300mm has manaual focus.

Purchased for $200.00 total and loving it.

I am not a professional photographer and do not pretend to be one, when I first found this forum I so enjoyed talking to other photographers and seeing their work, asking for CC and help to learn, I droped out for quite a while due to negativity of some of the forum members, looks like it going to happen again.

As someone who started out with a COOLPIX camera and has graduated to a D5300 I feel I have done quite well with limited income to obtain my equipment for myself and so sorry if someone feels that you need a High Dollar Camera to make beautiful photos.
