With this mount, can I use my CHINON MCL 300mm f 5.6 on my Nikon D3000? does it allow infinity focus?

I can't give you any advice on that. I was looking for an adapter for a Mamiya camera lens and what I tried did not work (as I was told before I bought it).

Unfortunately, the focus to infinity is not available: 2.5 - 3 meters (8-10 feet) is maximum.I use this converter with Nikon D5100 and with the specially adjusted, the old Russian lens Jupiter-9.http://cameras.alfredklomp.com/jupiter9/This is a very specific lens.https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202107820475164&set;=a.3021099764648.2131658.1177290511&type;=1

That's a good question! I've had issues with infinity focus with this item it's worth a shot though I think:)

Sorry, I have not used the lens or camera you ask about. The manufacturer should have info on infinity focus on their site. Good luck.

I don't see any problem to mount Chinnon MCL 300MMM to Nikon D3000 by used this Fotodiox adapter .The only thing you have to do is adjust the lens to get to infinity focus.

The Info says the Nikon D300 one of the only Nikons that work with Tamron 200mm-500mm Lens. It will have a slow aperture at 500mm. The lens does not have an internal auto focus. But your camera does . So auto autofocus should work.

I think no problem to fit Nikon D300 with 18-200 lens. Mine is usually with Cannon 5DIII+70-200/2.8L lens, fit perfectly.

I have not seen any reference in the D3000 data to say whether it can be used with Nikon pre-AF fully manual lenses. This would be the controlling factor on whether this would work on that camera. When used with the 1980s-90s vintage Series II Tamrons on the Nikon dF, none of the normal aperture metering works, however the image in the view field lightens and darkens as you move the ring, which indicates the blades are opening and closing, and depth of field changes. Exposure then is basically take a shot and see if it looks ok.

This paticular version came with a MFT (micro four thirds) adapter. I am using it on my Panisonic GH4. No Nikon mount. I feel like I saw this lens with a Nikon mount on Amazon though. You may want to hunt around on Amazon a bit more. If I'm right then I'd expect it to be pretty clearly labeled as including a Nikon mount.

Yes. I have been using my 300mm lens on the d200. Works fine. Have also used with a 2x Teleconverter between lens and camera body. Wonderful lens, great photos!

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 think it can work well! But the problem is the focusing distance and the aperture setting will double(like, f2.8 will turn to f5.5! So for the 18/300mm lens at 600mm, I don't think it can autofocus anymore!

I have a D800. I see no reason why it won't work with a D3000. Keep in mind that its a manual lens: camera settings will have to be adjusted to all manual settings. Get a good tripod, absolutely a must with this lens if you want reasonable pictures.

I don't know if it works with a D3000 but what I know is. I ran into so many problems with a lag between shots. I ended up selling it. I need quick successive shots. Good luck.

I'm currently using this lens with Nikon D5200, just get the nikon mount and you're sorted. Very sharp results if you do your part :)

works on my D300S, which is the same mounting as the D3100 - bear in mind there's no linkages, so aperture etc is all manual!

Yes, you can use this lens on any Nikon that can take G-lenses (like the D3300). But be aware that if you do have a DX/crop sensor (like the D3300), then the lens will work as a 36mm (still at 1.4). It is a spectacular lens, but unless you want to move to a FX/full frame sensor later, there is probably a cheaper alternative in Nikon's DX range. I use it on a D800 and love it!

I believe not because I believe that the D3000 does not have its own built in auto-focus motor, and neither does the lens, because it is an other model. I have used mine on the D90 which does have a built in auto-focus lens.

According to various eBay sellers, they say this lense does work with the D3000. Will hopefully be ordering this lense soon for my D3000 so I'll let you guys know!

I've totally forgotten since I sold mine with my long lens. Sorry. I can say that it worked well with both my 300mm 500mm.
