question

Can this lens work with the Nikon n80? I would like to use my old film camera
Asked by: Frederick P.
No - it will not work on an N80 or any film or full frame camera. It is designed to cover an APS-C sensor and won't project a big enough circle for an N80. :)

question

What is the difference between Imported and USA version of a lens other than the warranty issue?
Asked by: Robert F.
In use and physically, there is no difference the two lenses and most likely both lenses were made in the same factory. The difference is what distributor B&H used to get these from.

question

Can this lens work with a D3000?
Asked by: Harvey
I have used this lens with both a D3100 and a D3400 but have not used it on a D3000. I imagine it will work though since it did work on the D3100.

question

Anyone using this lens on the D500?
Asked by: Thomas
While the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II Lens would be fully compatible with the D500 Body, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR Lens (B&H # NI168028VR) would be considered the kit lens counterpart to the D500. The 16-80mm lens, aside from the added range, would be sharper, and better for shooting in lower light across the zoom range than the 18-55mm.

question

Does this lens have an infinite focus, and if so, how do you set it?
Asked by: 1Bit
If you mean a preset infinity point that you can easily set for astro photography, no it doesn't. It also has a very small maximum aperture, so it's not a good choice for that typs of photography.
