Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does it work with the D7100?

A: Yes.

Q: 2. If the AF lens is not compatible with the D3000 series (I have a 3200) what would you suggest I should purchase for my DSLR? Or can the AF lens be used?

A: The AF 70-300mm lens is compatible with the D3000 series of cameras, but autofocus will not be supported. The D3000 series doesn't have a built in motor for focus, so in order for autofocus to be supported the lens itself needs to have its own built in focus motor. Nikon's series of lenses with built in motors is the AF-S series of lenses. AF lenses need to be manually focused on these cameras. If autofocus is a must for you, you might look at the AF-S 55-300mm lens from Nikon (B&H # NI55300GAF).
