Don't know A5100. U need to check the A5100 If it's the same as the nex ur good to go with the nikkor lens but auto focus won't work. The other lenses need different adapter

This lens works fully auto with both my Nikon d5000 and d600. It will definitely work on manual focus with your body. Can't tell you for sure as far as auto

This lens will work on all Nikon D-SLRs made to date. It will autofocus even on the D40-D5100 cameras without in-body focus motors and it will illuminate an entire FX sensor.

Unfortunately until Tamron releases firmware update (if it ever happens) this lens will experience a lag during autofocus on D5100 (D5100 is an older camera - over 2 years old)

Cheryl - some time ago I bought a "slightly used" lens from an Amazon vendor. It would not autofocus in live mode on my Nikon D5100. For some time I thought this was a problem between the camera and lens, but I finally consulted Tamron and they said it would need expensive repair. Amazon was gracious let me return the lens. In manual focus it took wonderful shots - but I have no way of knowing if you are talking about this same particular lens.

Long story short this lense doesn't have an autofocus motor built in it and neither does the 5100 so autofocus won't work but it would with a camera such as a D7000 with an autofocus motor built into the camera

This lens meant for full frame camera. You had better check for compatibility with D5100.

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.

I don't have a D5100, but it absolutely works in my D90 and my D7100, both cameras are in the same line of D5100, so it probably works on it.Plus it is a great lens.

It works on the Nikon D3200, so I suspect it would work on the D5100. Compare the two tops?

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

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

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

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.
