Exposure Meter
Nikon D60 and exposure metering on old Tamron & Sigma lens?
Hi, could someone tell if there is a way to identify if old lens without built-in motors would have exposure metering on my Nikon D60 body.
Maybe Tamron, Sigma and lens of other brands have some abbreviation which show that lens have CPU and would be able to give readings to camera?
Or maybe there is list of compatibility of 3rd party lens like this:

Thank you!
No, unless the lenses have motors in the lens (AF-S on Nikon’s, USM on Canon’s by the way), they will not auto-focus or meter correctly
The good news is that there are 25 AF-S lenses currently made by Nikon and many more AF-S and AF-I lenses made since 1992.
You may find it a better idea to buy a good used Nikon lens, rather than a third party lens.
