Depends on whether it is fitted with the appropriate mount.

The lens in question is not brand specific. Instead you use T2 mount adaptors to fit whichever SLR camera you wish to use with it.

T2 mounts can be purchased widely online, just choose whichever one fits your camera mount.

SOURCE: sigma 170-500mm f.5-5.6. fit on nikon d 200 ???

Sigma makes their lenses with a variety of mounts for a variety of cameras. A lens with a Canon mount, for example, will not fit onto a Nikon camera. Assuming the lens has a Nikon mount, it is fully compatible with the D200.

If you mean the 150-500mm, you can see a review at
http://www.popphoto.com/gear/2008/12/sigma-150-500mm-f5-63-dg-os-hsm-apo-af

In general, Sigma supertelephoto zooms have a pretty good reputation. However, only YOU can decide whether a particular lens is "good enough" for you.

With the proper T-mount adapter this lens will fit just about any camera, film or digital, with an interchangeable lens. However you will not get autofocus, and most likely will lose the camera's autoexposure capabilities as well.

What is the best lens for a Nikon D3300?

Question edited for clarity. It is a *lens, not 'lense'. The model is a D3300.

When you look at something with your eyes, the field of view is around 35mm, so a lens that covers that is useful. Then at the higher end a 85mm to 210mm zoom cover the higher end. You already have and extreme telephoto. eBay or Kijiji.

Soligor mirror 500 on Nikon D-80 ????

The D80 is not able to set exposure with non-CPU lenses like your Soligor, so it probably is very far off on the correct exposure. You must operate in Manual mode and choose a shutter speed appropriate for the lighting. Reflex (mirror) lenses have no aperture adjustment, and I'm guessing your Soligor 500mm is probably f/8 like just about every other 500mm reflex. A good starting exposure for a typical sunlit scene would be 4x your ISO setting. For example, at ISO 400 set your shutter speed to 1600.

Vivitar telephoto lense 500mm

Yes and no. If it doesn't come with one, you'll need a T-adapter for Nikon in order to mount the lens (you can get one from Vivitar, as well as from other manufacturers). The lens is not an autofocus lens, so obviously you will have to focus manually. It's also a mirror lens so it has a fixed aperture. It's what Nikon classifies as a non-CPU lens, so you cannot use the D90's exposure meter. You will have to shoot in Manual mode.

Sigma 170-500mm APO lens on Nikon D50 won't autofocus or shoot

When you get a flashing EE, it means there is an Eror somewhere. Most cameras have a botton you press to reset it. Usually it is the battery check button. Try that. Also try taking the lens off the camera, unlocking the aperture ring, remount the lens and then lock the aprture ring to the minimum F stop. I think this should solve the problem.
