How can I find out the settings available on a Quantaray 70-300 mm zoom lens?

I would like to find a manual for a Quantaray 70-300mm f/4-f/32 lens? I am not having any problems with the lens but I am not sure of its properties. The Nikon instruction manual says that with a Nikon lens I should set the lens for either AF (autofocus) or M (Manual). There does not appear to be a setting option on my Quantaray zoom lens.

Quantaray has made several different 70-300mm lenses so I'm not sure exactly which one you have. However, if the lens doesn't have a AF/M switch it's no big deal. Assuming it's an autofocus lens, it's always on. If you want to switch to manual focus, flip the switch on the camera body.

If it's an older manual-focus Quantaray lens then the question is moot.

SOURCE: nikon d40 wont autofocus

Your 28-90 AF-D lens can't autofocus with the D40, which requires AF-S lenses with a focus motor in the lens. Sigma lenses with "HSM" (HyperSonic Motor) in the name also have the focus motor.

The Nikon D40 requires the use of AF-S/AF-I lenses. Here is a chart of lens compatibility for Nikon SLRs:

Look at the writing on the lens. There is a number next to a circle with a line through it. The 70-300 is probably made by Tamron and sold under the Quantaray name. Probably a 62mm diameter.

I have a 70-300mm quantaray zoom lens for a canon digital 300D Rebel that will not zoom. Is it worth repairing or buying a new one and what would it cost?

Quantaray 70 300mm 4 0 5 6 Zoom Lens Given that you can buy used or refurbished versions of this lense for well under $100 at Amazon, I would guess it's not worth repairing. An hour of a technician's time will probably cost as much or more, and that's assuming the lens can be fixed.

Can the quantaray for Nikon AF 70-300mm zoom lens be used with a digital nikon camera?

Yes, assuming we're discussing SLR cameras. It can also be used with most Nikon film SLRs.

Will this lens (the Quantaray AF70-300) fit my new Nikon D5000? is there an adaptor lens if not? thank you.

It depends on the mount. Quantaray lenses are available for a wide variety of mounts. If you specifically buy the one with the Nikon mount, then it will work. If you buy one with, say a Canon mount, then it won't fit.

I have Quantaray 28-90 mm aspherical lens and want to know what digital bodies it would fit on.

With right adapters it should fit in any camera. At least Canon, Nikon, Minolta, Pentax. The adapters are 10-20$ each and easy to fit in the lense.

Quantary 100-300mm telephoto lense

I have been researching this problem and found there's nothing you can do. Appararently, the quantaray, being an older lens, wasn't made to work with this latest era of cameras. Though it might work perfectly with your older camera, its technology is outdated as it relates to digital cameras and can't mesh with the latest and greatest. By the way, most of my questions were answered on the Digital Camera Resource page (www.dcresource.com)
