Compatibility

As a traditional AF lens, the Nikon AF 300mm f/4 works on a broader range of Nikon cameras than any other kind of lens. Except that it won't autofocus on the D40, D40x, or D60 and that you'll have to have an AI coupling prong added to the aperture ring for coupled metering with antediluvian Nikons made from 1959 - 1976, this lens works perfectly with every Nikon ever made since 1977.
