Would the AF work with D5100?

No it wont... You need a DXX series or above. Actually it won't even meter.

This can absolutely be used on a D5100 with some limitations, notably you will not be able to use auto-focus or built in light metering. Keep in mind many, many photos have been -- and will be -- taken without AF or metering. Really depends on the user but there is nothing stopping you from shooting with this on a D5100. Although I should note other than another answer here I can't say conclusively this lens wouldn't meter. Nikon has many charts and datum on their lenses, take a look for yourself.

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.

Hi I have used it on a D90,D7000,and a D7100,and had no problems whatsoever.So I can not see why there should be any problems with a D5100

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

Yes it will. Bare in mind that AF will not work and you have to set the aperture also manually.

Yes. I have a friend who has a D5100 and it works fine with his. It's made for crop bodies like the D5000. Set the aperture to f8 and the focus just short of the infinity mark and everything in your viewfinder will be in focus.

Yes, it works well on the D5100. It does exactly what it says it will do, works as advertised.

Hi, I don't know. With my D5100 it works only in Manual Mode.Take a look if you D90 have built in AF motor, than it could work also in AF. Good Luck!

I'm pretty sure you will It has the same screw port as the d5100. That's what I use. I hope this helps

Yes it will work but no AF. You'll also have to use aperture priority or manual exp. I use a 20mm ais nikkor on a 5dmkii with great results.

Yes, the auto focus works perfectly. My D5100 is the best cam sin the old slr days that I still own. I would have the cam checked out for a malfunction if yours is not working. Take care and good luck with a great camera.

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

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 :)

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

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.
