Will my current Tamron Lens work with a later model Nikon?

Question

Hello.

I am an avid amateur photographer and currently own a Tamron 18-200mm Lens for my Nikon D70s. I have been considering upgrading to the Nikon D300 and was wondering if I could keep my Tamron Lens to use on the D300 to avoid buying a new one as I am on a tight budget.

Any help/recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Answer 1

Yes, the tamron lens will work the the nikon d300, although the lens came from the nikon d70s. From 1958, or something like that. Nikon's used the same lens mount ( the legendary F-Mount)

It's been used on all nikons. This mean that you can attach any f-mounted lens to a nikon, as long as it was after 1958, and i doubt that lens is fifty years old :P. According to http://amazon.com, it says that the lens can autofocus, so that'll be another benefit for you ::p

Answer 2

any lens you own for the d70s will work fine on the d300. They may not AF on the D60/D40 series though....
