What lens do you have attached? If it's an older lens with the electronics, the camera will not be able to communicate with it and thus report lens not attached. You can switch to manual mode and still use the lens, but you'll have to set the exposure without any assistance from the camera's light meter.

It it is a more modern lens with the electronics, try cleaning the contacts on the back of the lens and in the mount on the body.

Promaster lense fits nikon D3000 but camera says lens not attached

Promaster makes many different lenses. Some of their older lenses do not have the electronics to communicate with newer digital cameras, and you have to shoot in Manual mode. Could you tell us which lens you're asking about?

I recently obtained a used Quantaray for Nikon 500mm f8 f/8 Mirror lens. I have a Nikon d3000 and I am not sure how to attach it to my camera.

For Nikon AF and manual focus SLRs. The compatible T Mount System makes it possible to use most any single lens reflex camera in combination with various front camera attachments such as telescopes, mirror lenses and slide duplicators. The T Mount is a metal connector that screws onto the compatible front attachment and allows this combination to be coupled to the SLR camera lens mount.

Can you use the Quantaray 70-300mm on the Nikon d3000 and or can you use Nikon 55-200mm on the d3000

The Nikon lens, absolutely.

Quantaray makes their lenses with a variety of mounts. A lens with a Canon mount, for example, will not fit on the D3000. Assuming the lens has a Nikon mount, then yes, it will work with the D3000.

Is Quantaray NF AF work with Nikon D3000

Quantaray lenses are available with a variety of mounts. Assuming you get one with a Nikon mount, then yes, it will work with a Nikon camera. However, unless the lens has a focusing motor, it will not autofocus on the D3000. Some Quantaray lenses have such a motor, some do not.

Is the Wide angle converter (Nikon Wc-E68) compatible with the D3000?

No. The converter is intended for certain point&shoot cameras. It is designed to fit in front of the much smaller lenses. The D3000 has interchangeable lenses, so you can simply remove whatever lens you have on it and attach a wide-angle lens.

I have a Nikon d3000 and a Tamron AF 55-200mm lens. I cant get the lens to autofocus with my nikon

The Nikon D3000 does not have a focusing motor built-in, relying on the lens to have a motor. The Tamron AF 55-200mm does not have the necessary motor; it only auto-focuses with Nikon cameras that have the motor in the camera body.

For Nikon lenses, you need lenses designated AF-S. For Tamron, you need lenses designated USD and/or BIM.

That probably wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but there it is.

D3000 Digital Camera with 18-55mm lens: hi,i brought a nikon 3000 , is it compatible with ...

ALL Nikon AFS branded lenses are compatible with the D3000. The AF lenses are usable in manual mode. Sigma, Tokina and Tamron lenses without the built-in motor are manual mode as well.
To be sure, check the manufacturer;s websites.
Hope this helps,

I'm looking to buy a digatil camera a D3000 and

See my answer to your other post.

One more addition for the D3000. Older autofocus lenses without a built-in motor will not autofocus on the D3000. Only AF-S and AF-I lenses will autofocus on the D3000.

Can you fit canon eos 888 lenses on nikon d3000

No. Nikon bodies are slightly thicker than Canon bodies. This allows a thin mount to adapt Nikon lenses to Canon bodies and still allow focusing to infinity. While an adapter for Canon lenses to Nikon bodies is theoretically possible, it would not allow the lens to focus to infinity. Thus, no one bothers to make one.
