Is the Nikon 70-300 mm lens compatible with a Nikon D60 camera?

There're actually two buttons. Press and hold the Info and zoom-in buttons (both marked with a green dot) for more than two seconds.

Full details are in the "Two-Button Reset" section of the manual (page 38 in my copy). If you need a manual you may download a copy from here.

Tamron makes their lenses with a variety of mounts. A lens with a Canon mount, for example, will not fit a Nikon. Assuming the lens has a Nikon mount then yes, it is compatible with the D60. However, the D60 lacks an autofocus motor, relying on the lens to have one. Some Tamron lenses have such a motor, some do not. Such lenses will not autofocus with the D60, but everything else still works, including manual focus.

Yes, the lens is compatible with the D60, with one proviso. The D60 lacks an autofocus motor, relying on the lens to have one. This lens does not, so the autofocus feature will not work. Other than that, everything else will work.

hi there,

the zoom-rubber might have been loosen, so it moved too easy while you use it
you can fix it by contacting nikon representative technical support

thanks

You can reset the camera by using a paperclip and pressing the reset button

Is it a Nikon mount indeed. What a question!?! Couldn't fit any other mount on the camera!!! Just a guess here, the lens is probably not aa AF-I, an AF-S or a DX lens. The D60 has limited lens usage. The lens types mentioned are the only ones that fully work on the D60. It will work with G types as long as they are also AF-I or AF-S. AF and AF-D lenses will not auto focus. Hope this helps. Will

There is no such thing as auto-zoom.

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.

I will try to help you, but please understand that my experience is with Nikon film cameras. Assuming that the D60 works in a manner similar to a Nikon 35 mm body and that Sigma macro lens work like Nikon macro lens, you should be able to determine the usable subject to lens distance by experimentation. First, make sure the lens is in the macro mode. To do this you must set the auto-focus mode control to the manual focus mode (see your manual). On Nikon lenses, you must first set the focus ring to infinity, then move slider switch, which has two positions marked; "normal" and "macro., to the macro position. You should now be able to rotate the focus ring to the macro range. Use the zoom ring to zoom in and out and focus with the focus ring. The the range over which the lens to subject to lens distance will yield an in focus image will be rather limited and in the range of an inch or so to 6 or 8 inches.

Hey Jofe 1966,
This lens should be compatible with the d60 camera body.

Sincerely,
Allan
