Q: QuestionI get confused with how to identify fx vs dx lenses. So is this lens compatible with all full frame cameras? Will it work on the d850?

Asked 6 years ago by Nikond850.

• A:Answer All Nikon lenses that are made for the DX crop format cameras will specifically have DX in the name of the lens. If they do not say DX in the name it means it is an FX or Full Frame lens. This AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR is optimized for FX or Full Frame cameras, as there is no DX in the name of the lens. This will be compatible will the Nikon D850 Digital SLR camera.

Q: QuestionIs this lense compatable with my Nikon D90?

Asked 6 years ago by Chief.

• A:Answer No. The Nikon D90 DSLR camera is not compatible with Nikon AF-P type lenses, like the AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR Telephoto Zoom lens listed here. For fully compatible lenses look into an AF-S type lens like the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR Telephoto Zoom. To learn more about lens compatibility please contact Nikon Support.

Q: QuestionWill this lens work with nikon D7000?

Asked 5 years ago by lensf.

• A:Answer No, the AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR Telephoto Zoom Lens will not be compatible on the D7000. While this lens may fit, it will not have the ability to be recognized or be able to auto-focus due to this lens being an AF-P lens. AF-P lenses use a new type of focus system that the D7000 does not communicate with. The D7000 is compatible with AF and AF-S type lenses.

Q: QuestionWhy does this cost so much more than the kit lense that came with my d3400? If i used this on my Nikon z6 could i use fx mode or would it autocrop to dx mode? Does it cover my whole full frame sensor?

Asked 5 years ago by Jacob.

• A:Answer This AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR Lens is the Full Frame version of the kit lens so it will use the FX Mode on the Nikon Z6. Also unlike the kit lens, this lens will include Vibration Reduction as well as offer an extra stop of aperture.

Q: QuestionIs this lens compatible with the D3500?

Asked 5 years ago by jaa77.

• A:Answer The Nikone D3500 supports AFP lenses, and since this lens is an AFP lens it should work fine. However just to be safe I would check the Nikon site and make sure you have the latest firmware update.

Q: QuestionI am using a D7200. This lens is shown as usable with "limitations". What exactly are those limitations? What firmware do I need for best compatibility?

Asked 6 years ago by COMDOCUSAF.

• A:Answer There are no limitations with this lens on a D7200. Someone might be confused that the DX version of this lens has limitations on a full frame body like the D750, but this lens is perfect on both formats. You might want to look at that DX version, it is very nice, cheaper, and specific to the DX sensor cameras like the D7200.

Q: QuestionIs this lens compatible with a Nikon D5100 and can it be used with auto focus. Will primarily be used for landscapes and wildlife. If not can you recommend a good lens?

Asked 5 years ago by SoDakotaRoadTrip.

• A:Answer No, the AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR Telephoto Zoom Lens will not work on the Nikon D5100. The AF-P type lenses use a new type of electromagnetic focusing system that the D5100 cannot communicate with. The D5100 will be compatible with AF-S type lenses. We would recommend looking into the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR Telephoto Zoom Lens. Though it may be more expensive, this lens would be perfect for landscapes and wildlife. You will be able to use this lens to get amazing wild angle shots as well as zoom in to capture up close images of various wild life.

Q: QuestionWill this work with my 5100

Asked 7 years ago by Ramo.

• A:Answer No, AF-P lenses like this AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR Lens are not compatible with the D5100. For compatible NIKKOR lenses that will autofocus on the D5100 look for lenses with the AF-S designation like the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED Telephoto Zoom Lens (product #2161).
