Nikon 35-70mm f/2.8 AF ZOOM-NIKKOR (1987-2007) Compatibility intro top This is an FX lens, and works perfectly on all FX and auto- and manual-focus 35mm Nikons, and also works great on most DX Nikons except the very cheapest, on which it won't autofocus. It works fantastically on manual-focus cameras like the F2AS, F3, FE and FA, since it has real manual-focus and aperture rings that work exactly as they should. The 35-70mm f/2.8 works great with almost every film and digital Nikon camera made since 1977. If you have a coupling prong added to the diaphragm ring, it's perfect with every Nikon back to the original Nikon F of 1959. The only incompatibility is that it will not autofocus with the cheapest D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100, D3200, D5000 or D5100, but if you focus manually, everything else works great. These cameras have in-finder focus confirmation dots to help you. It won't autofocus on an F3 either! On the newest cameras with Automatic Distortion Control, oddly this lens appears to be incompatible and the feature is grayed-out in the menus. Peripheral Illumination Control works fine. See Nikon Lens Compatibility for details on your camera. Read down the "AF, AF-D (screw)" column for this lens.
