Nikon offers two types of autofocus digital camera bodies: those with a built-in focus drive motor and those which require a lens to have a motor. Cameras such as the D3000 do not have a focus motor in it so they require the lens to have the focusing motor – an “AF-S” lens. While these bodies can use a lens with no focus motor (an “AF” lens) you would have to manually turn the focus ring to bring the subject in to sharp focus.

It will effectively be a 105-450mm lens and possibly be more suitable as an outdoor telephoto lens. In either case, bring your camera with you, make sure the lens fits, and see what the lens does on your camera.
