**** RESOLVED ISSUE- CAMERA LENS NOT COMPATABLE **Newbie issue Nikon D3200 and Tamron lens

[NMBPMike]

Greetings all, Sorry for the newbie question.
I have a Nikon D3200
I purchased a Tamron AF LD 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 Tele-Macro (1:3.8) Lens
Model 3720 which is about 1996

I set the dial to f22
and turn on the camera and i get the info pop-warning
to " Lock Lens aperture ring at minimum aperture {Largest F/number}
I ensure i turned the dial to 22

I rotate my dial to A to change the aperture setting, I hold down the exposure compensation button and at the same time i use the command dial and on the display it doesn't move, the
informational stays in view and i don't see the aperture changing.

I also tried it by rotating the dial to M and also P separately and I hold down the exposure compensation button and at the same time use the command dial to adjust
and still nothing changes. I also try without holding down the exposure compensation button.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Mike

Why are you holding down the exp comp button?
Do you have the manual?

When you set the aperture ring to f/22, did you lock it? (And keep your finger off the Exposure Compensation button - that's for exposure compensation.)

I was following another online post were the OP stated to hold down that button and try.
Yes i have the Manuel, but i wasn't able to successfully hide/remove the notice, nor set the aperture manually

This lens doesn't have the lock button, only the ring that turns and i hear it click to set it to 22

After further review and finding the lens compatibility matrix for my Nikon, this lens is not compatible with it. Thank you to those who replied.

Thank you for the update - I'm sure we all appreciate it.

To explain the incompatibility, the D3200 (along with all of the D3x00 and D5x00, and even the D7500) does not have the AI ring on the lens mount, so is unable to read the lens's aperture settings. That ring missing from the D7500 is the only reason I upgraded my D7000 to a D7200 instead of a D7500 some years ago, as I have a number of manual-focus AI lenses that would have been useless on the D7500. Well, that, and I couldn't afford a D500 at the time...
