Would this work on a Nikon D5000 since it is not a full frame (fx) camera?? Would I get sharp portraits and nice bokehs?

It perfectly works on my D90 and D7000. Bokeh is nice and smooth, pictures are sharp...

With an fx lens on a do body the lens will kinda be a 300 lens . And you would have to Manuel focus this lens on the d5000

It work perfect on my full frame and crop sensor cameras. Since I've been using it, my pictures have been pretty sharp. You just have to get use to drive motor for the focus. Personal I like.

Hello, Yes it would fine on a D5000. Infact The camera I had before my D7000 was a D5000. I had no issues with the lens, The lens has an internal focus motor so auto focus wont be a problem. and at 2.8 with the Zoom you can create amazing Bokeh. The images are sharp for what I do, Sure we would all love a 70-200 VRII From Nikon. But lets be honest I do this as a hobby not professional and The images i've got with the Tamron are Amazing!! Thanks

Yes. I have the same Camera and Lens. Portraits come out well at 50 mm and f 5.6 or higher

It will work beautifully. Just remember to get the one for Nikon mount and you can get it with the focus confirmation chip. Enjoy!

Absolutely! It's a great focal length for portraits, and great Bokeh. Take a look at KenRockwell, dot com he has a review and a sample portrait shot, Bokeh and all...

I have a Nikon D800, and this is my go to lens for portrait photography. The bokeh is amazing, and the lens creates very even skin tones. I would highly recommend this lens to anyone who takes a lot of photos of families, children, newborns, and weddings. Examples can be seen on my website: www.tagenbakerstudios.com

It will work fine on a D5000, but it will NOT AUTOFOCUS. It will be manual focus lens because the 90mm has no internal focus motor of it's own. Keep in mind that the 90mm will become a 135mm lens on a DX sensor camera. If you want it for macro work you'll be manual focusing anyway. But if you want it for portraits and other stuff, you may want to look at the Nikon 85mm 1.8G. Have fun!

I wouldn't put this on a DX camera. Lenses like this always contain compromises and the compromises made in this lens - some of which make this a $1000 lens - are optimized for FX. I'm very happy with it on my D750, but for DX I'd look more towards the 18-200, which covers a similar equivalent zoom range on DX.

Will the 50mm 1.4 AF-S lens work on the D5000 (the others all say that the AF wont work) will this lens work

The sigma 24-70 is also for full frame (DG), but yes, it'll work with the d5000 and it's cheaper than the nikon.

Well, this lens is designed for full-framed DSLR. The D5000 is a DX sensor...not full frame. I would not buy it for the D5000. Buy a lens that is designated for the DX system. I believe it may save you money as well.

I use on an fx body - d800. You could probably use on a dx body but it would cropped and therefor not be optimal. Also note that whatever body you use this on it is a manual focus only.

Since its an fx lens it would be best to get a full frame camera. The cheapest (and still very good) is the Nikon d600. If you can't swing the cash for that, getting an fx lens might not be worth it since it'll be cropping every shot.

It will, and it will go into DX mode automatically, which is nice. But you won't be getting the full benefit of the camera with DX lenses. Over time you should plan on migrating at least some of your lenses to FX. Expensive, but worth it.

yes it will work with the new d5000 (and the d40/d60), but it will not autofocus.

Yes it will work. It will crop from FX to DX sensor size and only manual settings will work otherwise the camera will say "lens not mounted".

I sold it to someone that has a D5000. Frankly I did not like that lens at all that's why I sold it. I used it on my D300 and D5100 as you are moving along all of a sudden every 7-10 shots it will be a blank photo. I am a wedding photographer you cannot have that. I don't recommend that lens at all. The best lens I've ever owned was the Nikkor 18-200... the 18-300 is in my wish list. You can purchase the Nikon 18-200 for 650.00 these days. That is cheap I purchased mine at 1500.00. I don't regret it I don't ever interchange lenses since I purchased it.

This should work on DX cameras such as the D5000. Serious overkill in my personal estimation, however. Because it is designed for FX cameras it is much larger, heavier and more expensive than similar DX 35mm primes.
