My experience with lenses is that they either work or they don't. If it does not work "as you usually used it", then there is a problem inside the lens and not something the average photographer can repair. Lenses are quite fragile, a slight knock on one occasion can damage the inner bits which are very intricate and more so with motorised lenses. I have experienced a battery problem error message through a damaged lens housing and the battery also subsequently got damaged through short circuit inside the lens mechanism. Send it for a check-up and repairs!

SOURCE: I just bought the Tokina SD 12-24 F4 (IF) DX

Only the MkII version of this lens has an autofocus motor built in, the MkI relies on a motor in the body of some Nikon AF SLRs to autofocus. The D70 does not have an inbuilt AF drive motor, so if you have the MkI lens then you can only use it in manual focus mode on your camera.

Nikon D50 will not autofocus, the menue item 02 Autofocus is no highlighed and I can not set it

You should check two switches.

First, on your lens, be sure it's set to M/MA not M. That puts the lens in auto focus mode.

On the camera there should be a switch that shows C/S/M. If switched to M, it's on manual focus. Change this to S for single auto focus or C for continuous auto focus.

Is there a solution to make the 70-300 nikkor f/4-5.6g af zoom lens auto focus with the Nikon D3000

Sorry, no. This lens relies on the camera having an autofocus motor, while the D3000 will only autofocus with lenses having their own autofocus motor.

Autofocus problem on canon 135mm f2

If it focuses OK on manual focus and won't focus on auto focus the problem may be down to a broken ribbon cable in the lens.

Why wont my Nikon af nikkor 70-300mm G lens autofocus its self with my D5000 camera

The D5000 does not have a focus motor in the body, relying on the lens to have one. The old 70-300mm G lens does not have a focus motor, relying on the camera to have one. Thus, this combination will not autofocus.
The newer 70-300mm AF-S G lens, as well as the even newer 70-300mm VR AF-S lens, do have the autofocus motor and thus will autofocus on the D5000.

The auto focus does not work properly with this lens on either my Nikon D5000 or D7000. I have tried all possible combinations of AF settings. Typicaly, when I use single point to focus, the subject I...

Hi, It wouldn't autofocus on the D5000 as the body doesn't have an auto focus motor in the body and since that lens is AF, not AF-S, it won't autofocus. It should autofocus on the D7000 though, how far away are you from the object you're trying to photograph?

No autofocus

We tried the same lens on another Nikon (D90) and auto focus did not work.
We mounted a new set of lens on the original D40x, and it worked.
Turns out the 2 year Nikon lens (18mm-135mm) was bad. Nikon lens have a 5 year warrantee. The lens will be sent back to Nikon with no service or shipping charge.

Thanks,
K
