Quantaray 28-90 for Nikon N65 zoom ring locked up

Turn the aperture ring on the lens to its smallest setting (largest f/number). You can control the aperture from the camera body, the same was as with a lens without an aperture ring.

Yes, assuming we're discussing SLR cameras. It can also be used with most Nikon film SLRs.

The Nikon D40 requires the use of AF-S/AF-I lenses. Here is a chart of lens compatibility for Nikon SLRs:

I WENT TO B&H PHOTO AND GOT THE ANSWER FROM THEM.

You can use it, but it will not autofocus on your D60. It will set exposure properly, but you will have to turn the focus ring.

Yes the new nikon D60 needs lens with a built in a/f motor. Your lens will go on and work but you will
have to manual foucs

Slide a piece of paper partway under the ring (make sure you leave enough hanging out so you can remove it later) and see if that tightens the action some.

Another low-tech approach is to push the ring to expose the inner barrel, then attack one or more pieces of Scotch tape or masking tape.

amyfesh,
I have been finding a lot of these concerns while looking back at unsolved SLR issues, it shoots at the ceiling or the sky because there is just enough light the camera detects. Check the lens ring for a white dot and the ring for the aperture rotate the ring so the red f-stop (usually in red and f-22 or somewhere near that number) align, now the lens will open enough to allow the light that the camera has determined that it needs, now it will allow the shutter to open. I just joined the fixya in December, so I hope to hear from you if this helped and if you have any other questions about the N65.

Turn the aperture ring on the lens to its smallest aperture (largest f/number) and lock it there if it has a lock. You control the aperture through the command dial on the camera body, not the aperture ring on the lens.
