Sherrie: This is a popular lens. You should check to see if it is a current model that includes VR to avoid shake. I have a Sigma same range (35 yrs old) but no shake stabilization works fine on my D7100 . Maybe the lens you are looking at is not new but the Nikkor should work on your camera body as well, I think. If it is new it will be a AF-S - DX- Nikkor and compatible. If used, check the complete specs to ensure that all functions will work.

I'm by no means a Nikon expert, but it should fit and give you full functionality. I believe Nikon has a compatibility chart on their website to verify the functionality of the lens.

Optically it will work. The issue is the adaptor for the diopter. They come in a range of sizes including Canon and Nikon. I am sure one will fit the D300

The lens says it's AF-S and according to this comparison chart it should work. http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/compatibility-lens.htm This is a pretty good site for everything Nikon, the guy is obsessed with it and can go into detail. Not the end all be all and there's obviously bias here and there but it's a good informative site that can make you aware of some details you may not have even heard of.

I use this lens on both a Nikon D-70 & D-3000. Because you have a later model 3000 series I'm sure it will work. Also if you look at the camera statistics on Amazon, it will tell you what models a particular lens will function with.o

I have this lens and it works with my Nikon D200 just fine. If your worried, make sure you can return it.

Charles, I cannot speak to the ability for this lens to work with your Nikon as I am shoot with a Canon camera. It performed very well for me when I used it. I would still be shooting with it if the rear lens screws didn't come loose. Still trying to locate someone to repair the lens.

Yes, it should be. I have this lens and use it with my Nikon d300s, and it is a great lens.

Hi, The description of my sale was, "NIKON VERSION: It looks great but I don't have a camera that it fits. I bought it on Amazon for a Canon EOS but it is meant for Nikon cameras." I had the same issue you did, which is why I marked it down and why I was clear to point out which mount it worked for. As far as I can tell, the lens was made with various mounts for most cameras out there.

Yes, it is compatible with the D3000, however, you will lose Autofocus. You will have all the other functions i.e., P, S, A, M. I like this lens very much as I find it a great walk around, durable and sharp release from Nikon. Thanks for your question. I see you have received different answers to your question. The best way to check is to go on www.kenrockwellsnikonlenscompatibilitychart.com. The lens in question is an AF, AF-D lens. Go to the section heading, Digital cameras, and find the model you have.

My understanding is that the lens is compatible with all Nikon Digital camera bodies. I use it with a D90, D800 and D3200. You can check the Nikon site for compatibility. It's a great lens!

YES, it will work...get a lens cover to protect the lens as a safety measure...but your camera may not get the full benefits of the lens it being a D3000...

Hi, I have the exact same lens and camera (purchased recently as an upgrade from d90), I will let you know when I do some test shots! I hope they work well together, because it is one of my fav lens. =]

LeeAnn, yes! it will work with any Nikon DSLR, "F" mount camera. If the D3000 is a DX format, this lens will give you the equivalent of a 120 to 600 zoom. I use mine on a D7100 (DX format) and on my D810 (FX format) and it works quite well. Happy shooting! John

I'm using it on my D7100 and it's a great lens. It is heavy but it's solid ~ I've taken it on a few trips now and I love it.

I would recommend the Nikon 17-55 f2.8 dx for the d300s. I have this set-up and it works great.

I purchased this lens a few months ago to use with my Nikon D7100 and I'm very pleased. So to answer your question, yes it will work and you will be amazed at the images this combination creates.
