Although I'm unfamiliar with the lens which you have, many generic mirror lenses like yours use a T-mount adapter which screws onto the lens to provide a suitable mounting for your camera body.

Check the converter, it probably has the T-mount screwed onto it.

Testimonial: "i found the converter attached to the t-mount"

Quantaray 600-1000mm Telephoto Zoom Lens FOR NIKON work with D3100 in all modes?

The lens is a manual focus lens. It doesn't matter which mode you have the camera in, you'll still have to focus it yourself.

IS THE 28-90mmF/3.5-5.6 FIT THE CANON REBEL XTI

Since you already have a Quantaray lens, you should know that Quantaray makes lenses with a variety of mounts. A lens with a Pentax mount won't fit a Canon camera, for example. As long as you get the lens with a Canon mount it will fit the XTi just fine.

I recently obtained a used Quantaray for Nikon 500mm f8 f/8 Mirror lens. I have a Nikon d3000 and I am not sure how to attach it to my camera.

For Nikon AF and manual focus SLRs. The compatible T Mount System makes it possible to use most any single lens reflex camera in combination with various front camera attachments such as telescopes, mirror lenses and slide duplicators. The T Mount is a metal connector that screws onto the compatible front attachment and allows this combination to be coupled to the SLR camera lens mount.

My Quantaray 600 - 1000 lens came with out the adapter that one attaches the T-mount to. The T-mount will not screw onto the tube where the eye piece is. Where may I obtain the adapter so I may enjoy my...

I suggest the starting point is to contact the vendor where you purchased the lens. They should have the adapter you need. My question is, shouldn't the adapter have been included with the lens? Generally, lenses made to adapt to several camera brands include the correct adapter as specified by the buyer for a specific camera brand or for those that use T-mount.

The Sony ALpha camera actually use a Konica/ Minolta lens mount. a 500 or 1000mm lens won't have any really mechanical connection to make, so if you can find the lens with a Minolta mount , it should fit. BTW- most of those long lenses require a T mount adapter to fit on ANY camera-

Nikon d40, t-mount adapter, showing error no lens attached.

You'll need to switch to M (Manual) mode. You won't get any metering through the lens, nor will you get any autofocus.

Hi there my D40 doest want work with this lens its saying lens not attached why? its only working on M profile. is that fault or is it ok? thank you lots

It seems perfectly fine. The lens lacks the circuitry to work with the meter on the camera, and thus must be used in Manual mode. The meter does not work, either, with this lens.

I am looking at a 400/640mm preset lens,

Pre-set depending on the model, can be fixed aperture, and or fixed focal length. You have to read the spec sheet to know, or call the dealer.

I have a fixed 500 mm / F8 mirror lens. It is refered to as a fixed lens, because nothing is adjustable. I have aperture and filter drop-ins to do the equivalent of some adjustments.

Auto focusing problem

Your camera is only compatable with AFS-type lenses because it has no screw-drive motor.  You can only use AFS Nikkors and Sigma HSM lenses (the lens actually has a motor inside).  You were misinformed.  Bring the lens back and ask for a refund. Take that money and purchase a compatable lens somewhere else.
