Yes, this is a terrific lens for the D5100. It will auto focus on this camera as it has the focus motor built into the lens itself. This lens is fantastic in low light situations. But it can be a bit tight in small spaces. This is the lens I love for newborn photography and with pets...Love the Bokah this lens gives.ETA: I use this lens with my D40x, D7000 and D700...

I use this lens with my d5100 and have found no integration issues at all. Everything, including autofocus, works great. This is a very nice prime lens that works and looks great with the d5100. A great investment.

The autofocus is great and at the price for a prime lens you can't beat it. One thing since you are shooting with a DX sensor or cropped sensor this lens will actually be at 75mm, check out this nikon link http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Learn-And-Explore/Article/g588ouey/The-DX-and-FX-Formats.html

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 have the D5100 and absolutely LOVE MINE! By far my new favorite lens especially to get crisp people pics.

The owners manual does not specifically list the D5100 in the chart of "Useable cameras and available functions". I would email the manufacturers or a reliable vendor. I use the lens on a D70.

Yes. This lens is designed for cropped (APS-C) sensors like the D5100. Have fun!

You can shoot with it, but autofocus does not work with the d5100. the d5100 autofocus function is inside the lens. All FX lenses are compatible with DX bodies, but not all autofocus is the same. you want to look for "AF-S" when shopping for nikon lenses.. in the case of this 60mm macro, the AF-S version of this lens is this one :"AF-S Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G ED"http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/2177/AF-S-Micro-NIKKOR-60mm-f%252F2.8G-ED.html

That case, is there any lens that autofocuses with D5000 with the spec of lens similar to this Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF?

I have this lens and while it works on the D5100, it does NOT have an autofocus motor in the lens and the auto-focus feature WILL NOT work with the D5100. In every other way (manual focus) the lens works perfectly.

You need the second Version of the tokina 11-16mm to have auto focus. The D5100 does not have a focus motor.

This is a very basic lens. There is no autofocus, stabilization, or even adjustable aperture. It is also a slow lens. You need a good stable tripod, and no fast moving subjects.

On the D5100 the Nikon 50 mm f/1.8D will not autofocus. You will need to purchase the "G" version for autofocus on the D5100. Only lenses with the designation AFS will autofocus on the D5100 which does not have a motor in its body. With respect to 50mm vs 35 mm you may find that the 50 has too much reach for normal use on the D5100 which is not a full frame DSLR. On the other hand it will work reasonably well as a portrait lens since it will have an equivalent reach of 75 mm on the D5100. Both the 35mm and 50 mm "G" lenses will produce images of roughly equal sharpness. On the D5100 the Nikon 50 mm f/1.8D will not autofocus.

See http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/80400vr.htm and http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/80-400mm.htm They describe respectively the older one which won't autofocus on your d5100 and the new, more expensive one, which will --- diff abt 1k

I have the D5100 with the AF-S NIKKOR 18-55m 1:3.5-5.6G lens. I find it to be a little tight going on/off but it fits well.

I have this lens mounted on my D5100 and it works fine. I'm an amateur photographer (for what it's worth) but this lens is the sharpest I've used! Nice lens!

DC, are you referring to the Micro Nikkor 85mm f3.5G DX? If so this would be a very good addition to your kit. Although not the fastest lens in the world it is very versatile for either mid range focal length for portrait or macro work. The lens is sharp with good contrast and color rendition. AF is fast on my D7100 and should work well on the D5100 as well.

Yes! I used this on my d5100 as my go to lens and now I use it for my d7100 - it's a great move

No, That lens requires a motor in the body to AF, so it won't AF with a D5100.

It won't autofocus with the D5100. It only autofocuses on cameras that have an internal focus motor.
