A Tamron 28-200 lens with a Nikon mount, digital cameras manufactured before the work on a Nikon D40?

I have designed an excellent Tamron lens for a Nikon camera before the day of digital photography. Although AF is an objective and only work in manual mode without an adapter, I can use with the D40 not hurt him. In your instruction manual, Nikon indications that this could happen, but I'm not sure this is fair or warning is only designed to sell Nikor more lenses. Specifications below. Will appreciate any information you can send to me. Objective Aspherical Tamron AF 28-200MMm 1.38-5.6 2.1M (6.9Ft.) 710N 3.8 to 22 ring opening Japan Serial Number 509 466 (? I – unique identification number of the lens)

First, you have a typographical error. It is AF 28-200mm f/3.8-5.6 Current models of this lens has internal focusing motor and runs on Nikon D40 D40 has no internal focus drive motor and therefore no mechanical focus drive pin. You have to check your lens and see if you have the contact pins for the control of the CPU is the internal autofocus motor. Or depends on the auto focus camera (please check the source 1). Otherwise, you will need to continue with manual focus
