Uh oh...you are going to need to service it....there is a sensor that prob got broke/disconnected when dropped. It will need to be professionally serviced. Sorry for the bad news!
Promaster makes many different lenses. Some of their older lenses do not have the electronics to communicate with newer digital cameras, and you have to shoot in Manual mode. Could you tell us which lens you're asking about?
Vivitar makes lenses with a variety of mounts. Assuming the lens in question has a Nikon mount then it will fit perfectly well on a D3000. If the lens has a Canon mount, for example, then it will not fit at all.The lens is a manual focus lens, so autofocus will not work. You'll have to focus by yourself.The lens also lacks the electronics to communicate with the camera. You will have to shoot in the Manual exposure mode, setting the shutter speed and aperture yourself, without any help from the camera's light meter.
Yes. Since the lens does not have the electronics necessary for focusing and metering, you just have to do everything manually. Set the camera's mode dial to M for manual. You can then set the aperture and shutter speed.
Yes. The smaller sensor of the D3000 will make it the equivalent of about a 105-315mm lens on a 35mm film or full-frame digital camera. Also, the autofocus will not work with the D3000.
ALL Nikon AFS branded lenses are compatible with the D3000. The AF lenses are usable in manual mode.
Sigma, Tokina and Tamron lenses without the built-in motor are manual mode as well.
To be sure, check the manufacturer;s websites.
Hope this helps,
Andrew
