Lens compatibility - Nikon

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital,alt.photography (More info?)

I am getting close to pulling the trigger here on the D70 and a lens.
I like the specs on this lens:

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/co [...] 219&is=USA

However, I was curious as to whether or not this lens is "fully
comatible" with the D70. It doesn't specifically say that it is,
however it lists the cameras with which it is fully comaptible - the
D70 is not listed, but it gives the caveat "(or any newer model)
cameras". Does this include the D70?

Regards,

Ben

Important Notice!
Vibration Reduction works only with N65, N75, N80, F100, F5, D70, D100 & D1
series (or newer) cameras


I see the D70 listed. Maybe your reading too fast.

This is an AF lens. All AF lenses will work with full capability on the
D70.

If you get it and don't like it, I'll take it off your hands for a
couple hundred dollars. ;o)

I'm waiting for the 18-160 VR micro version to come out for $290 after
rebates. That's what I like about getting old. You can nod off and
have a nice little dream, almost at will.

It's a G lens.
It works.

But the original question was whether it will work on a D70. It does.

Done and did.
