My husband bought me an Opteka 650-1300mm telephoto lens for my Nikon D3200 and I can't figure out how to attach it.
Do I need to buy a lenses adaptor? Or am I just not doing it right?

That lens has a T-Mount 42mm threaded connection with a 0.75mm thread pitch. They are also called T2 mounts. M42 also have a 42mm threaded connection but with a 1mm thread pitch. (they are not interchangeable)
They often come with the T-mount adapter, but if you can't attach the lens then it either has the wrong adapter or no adapter at all.
You will need to buy a Nikon T-mount adapter that threads onto the back of the lens and allows you to mount it to a Nikon camera. The adapter had three small set screws that allow you to rotate the mount for proper lens orientation on the camera.
