There is no aperture ring. Can I shoot aperture priority on my D5100 with this lens?

Yes. It also has an internal motor so it will auto focus the D5100, which btw, is the camera is use with this lens.

None of my lenses have an aperture ring; aperture and aperture priority is controlled by the camera body. I own the 5300, not the D5100, but aperture priority is a pretty basic function, so I am sure the function exists in that camera body.

Yes you can the camera will set the aperture that you dial in. I use aperture priority on d300 and d7100 Nikon all the time.

I would say: YES as far as aperture priority can be set and run on your D5100. I can run it on my D300.

Nhat, this lens will work with the D5100, just make sure you order the Nikon mount.

Yes! But, manual focus only because this lens requires an AF motor in the body but the d5100 does not have one.

I believe that any newer nikon lenses that have the AF-S designation will work with the D5100. It is my understanding that the D5100 camera body cannot focus the lense itself so it relies on autofocusing lenses (AF-S) to get this done. You may want to investigate this further though.

Had the same issue with a Nikon d5100, but after a few tries it was resolved. Check the following:1- for some reason, the lens didn't fit in with the camera, but after trying a couple of times it finally clicked into position2- there is a ring near the lens (the left part of the product picture) that must be slide out for the lens to autofocus. After you slide it you'll see the AF appear from under the ring, beore that there is only MF ( manual focus) visibleAfter these two the lens worked perfectlyHope it helps

This is a Nikon "D" lens. All Nikon "D" lenses have an aperture ring on them

Yes it will work as a manual focus lens. But only manual. The Nikon d5100 does not have a built in AF motor which means AF and AF-I lenses will connect to the F-mount lens ring even though their is no motor to power the autofocus function. For any form of autofocus you need to get an AF-S or AF-D lense. If want to pull your own focus, this lens will work great.

Check your manual, it says in the accessory section. I bought it for my D5100 and even though it says Auto focus on it, with my D5100 that auto focus feature doesn't work. I need a AF-S for the auto focus feature. Not sure this will help. Happy shopping! And I am a little jealous of the D7 :)

Unless you buy the one with the electrical contacts for the newer lenses, you must have an older lense with an manual aperture ring on the lense, and run in manual mode. The problem with some of the lower end Nikons is that your exposure will be by trial and error, ie D5100 for example.

Yes! I use it will the d5100 and it is perfect! It has autofocus but keep in mind this lens does not zoom. It is fixed at 50mm which is perfect for taking portraits. The images captured through this lens are amazing. It was definitely worth every penny.

I found it. The menu has a setting for a lens that has an aperture ring. So all I did was change the setting to "permitted" and it worked. So thanks to K. Johnson for the response and I will now put this forum to rest. What a great little camera, the Pentax Kx! And I just found out that it takes multiple exposure pictures; how much fun is that?

Yes, it does have a manual aperture ring. It does not have image stabilization. I believe Ken Rockwell has a chart of camera compatibility. I'm using it on an FM2n. Overall, it's a pretty decent lens if you are only going to use just one.

I think so but you may need a T2 to Nikon mount adaptor. It is a manual lens and no need to have any electronic interface. So, once you mount to the camera it should work.However, I do not own a D5100 and can't experiment with it. Some camera (like Panasonic M43 models) DO NOT work without lens by default. For these camera, you should enable working without lens option in order to use manual lens.

I have a Nikon D5100 and I bought this lens for my camera. The lens works perfectly with my D5100. The D5100 has auto-focus capabilities, and because this lens as the "VR" designation, it too is an auto-focus attachment! It's been a great addition to my set-up!

specially no lense mead for the DF; but all AF-D lenses (prior to AF-S) should have an aperture ring.

If you're speaking of lens, you have to purchase an adapter ring. Don't get Nikon reasoning for this. Makes no sense at all

Nikon and Pentax mounts do not have an aperture ring. Some functions may not work depending on the camera model.
