Depending on how old the lens is there is agood chance in would not work on the cheaper Nikon Dslrs

GT60

If it has A/P you should be able to control the dof or is digital different

Thanks but I know what depth of field is, but I wasn’t sure what mealticket meant by I cant get any depth of field, so I suppose I should have said how much depth of field does he want. It's the lack of depth of field that creates a blurred background.

i mean that when i take a photo of, say, a garden 100 yards long it looks like 20 yards, very little separation between foreground and distance, but all in focus. they just look wrong. make sense??

You would be better going on Dpreview forums. I have found many answers to many questions.

Not really using a telephoto lens can have that effect. As pastmybest says it might be worth asking question on dpreview you could even upload a photo to show what you mean.
