How does this lenses work with a D7100? I need something that does not weight a ton for travel photos I am trying to upgrade my kit lense (18-105)

This lens is great on the D7100 with an equvalent focal length range of 36-180mm. You get the benefit that vignetting will not be an issue and you're only using the center of the image circle so it will be sharper across the frame on the DX camera and if you have or will have FX bodies in the future, it cover both. However, if you only plan to use DX cameras, the 18-200mm VRII is the better lens to go for and much less expensive.

I wouldn't buy this for d7100. Focal length is not useful for a crop sensor on the wide end. It's pretty fat and heavy lens, I would look into 16-85mm

The 24-120 f/4 is a great "walking around" lens. It has all the goodies; Nano Glass, VR2 and fantastic resolution and speed. Works very well with mt D800's 36 megapixel resolution. Great for handheld shots. It's not a lightweight, but, IMHO, relatively easy to carry. You'll not be disappointed with the pictures. If you can, try it with your camera for weight and balance.

Avoid this lens for the D7100. The only way I would recommend it for a crop sensor camera is if you plan on moving up to full frame very soon. The 24-120 is a fantastic lens, but for crop sensor its focal length changes to 36-180. While getting 180mm is nice, 36 is a little narrow. Unless you prefer to shoot at 35mm and not wider. My recommendation, get the 16-85mm. It is definitely my go to lens with my D7100. I love it. I also bought a 28mm 1.8 to handle low light. Probably down the line when I go full frame Ill upgrade to the 24-120.

Main thing to know is that, unless you're shooting the d7100, you won't have autofocus (this lens doesn't have the focussing motor in the lens) -- I think the 7100 is the only DX body that has a motor in the body as well.

I did NOT buy the kit lens...bought camera with the 18-200mm lens instead....love this lens....a bit heavy but just great....no need for multiple lenses.

It should work fine...the Nikon D7100 is a DX camera...the Nikon 10.5 mm is a DX lens,,,,I use it with my Nikon D-90 and Nikon D7000 with no problems...it is an extremly sharp fisheye and fast at f/2.8.

I am using the D7100. With the tokina 100 pro auto focus works well. I recall when researching the lens that the auto focus works with D7000 also. It has proven to be an impressive lens.

The 28-70 is really a great lens and its f/2.8 does well in low light found at weddings. It works well on the D7100 and will be great if you ever choose to move to a full frame camera. It is one of the heaviest lens made by Nikon.

OK, well here are my thoughts on the kit lens. It is lighter, so for backpacking orhiking it could be a really good thing. As you say, it is only an extra $75 or so,so there isn't much wrong with having it along with a truly fine lens, unless $75makes or breaks your budget. Get the kit lens AND as many other lenses asyou can justify.

Thank you for the excellent reply PD. What do you guys think about using the 70-200 lens with a camera that does not have a full sized sensor? I have a rebel XT and I think thats almost half the size of the 1d sensor. Still a good focal length?

Philip,I am sorry that I cannot offer much insight to this question. I use a D700 model Nikon and the Sigma 70mm macro lens has worked flawlessly so far with this camera. I have no experiencewhatsoever with the D7100, however. Best of luck to you,Denis Thompson

This lens is not compatible with the D7100. If forced, it could cause some serious damage to your camera.We suggest you get the 50mm f/1.4 AI or AIS lens.Hope this helps. Thank you for shopping our store. We appreicate your business. Blue Penn Cameras

I started with the two lens, 18-50, & 50-200. I liked them both, but found I always had to travel with both and was constantly changing back & forth. Recently I bought the 18-135 lens just prior to a trip and loved the fact I could leave it on for almost everything. It replaced the other two lens, which made traveling so much nicer. Quality is the same, but the convenience was great. It will become my primary lens.

No problem. I've traveled with Nikon D800 (full frame)with 14 24 and 28 300 and 50 plus sony nex-7 with several lenses plus chargers, filters, etc. Travels well and fits in ALL overhead luggage compartments....even on some pretty darn small planes. Sturdy and great wheels. Hope that helps.

I am using D7000, 18-105mm lens- very sturdy and support this camera very well, but i have not try it with a lens like yours.

I use it all the time with my 300mm f4 on a D7100 with no problems. It should work fine on yours.

Sherrie: This is a popular lens. You should check to see if it is a current model that includes VR to avoid shake. I have a Sigma same range (35 yrs old) but no shake stabilization works fine on my D7100 . Maybe the lens you are looking at is not new but the Nikkor should work on your camera body as well, I think. If it is new it will be a AF-S - DX- Nikkor and compatible. If used, check the complete specs to ensure that all functions will work.

Yes it should work just fine. I have the D7000 and it is the same form factor as the D7100. I primarily use the 16-85 VR zoom lens and it fits quite nicely. I have also used the 12-24 zoom lens and it works as well with this case.
