Nikon Service Updates

March 3, 2010

Tamron lenses built for use on Nikon cameras, with the exception of those listed below, feature a Built-In Motor for autofocus compatibility with Nikon's D40, D40X, D60, D3000 and D5000 Digital SLR cameras. These Tamron lenses in Nikon mount can be identified by the model number, which includes the Roman numeral two after the "N" (e.g., B003NII-700). If you have any question about the compatibility of a Tamron lens with one of the above listed cameras, please do not hesitate to call Tamron to verify that the lens you own or are intending to purchase is one with the Built-In Motor for Nikon.

Lenses that do not have a Built-In Motor are limited to only the following:

AF03N-700 28-200mm F/3.8-5.6 XR Di Aspherical (IF) Macro
AF061N-700 28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di Aspherical (IF) Macro (pls note that our current 28-300mm VC model AF020NII-700 features the Built-In Motor)
