Can this lens autofocus (well) with the Nikon D5100?

Unfortunately, the tokina 11-16 nor the d5100 have an auto focusing motor so you will be stuck with manual focus. I have the 7000 which does have an auto focusing motor inside so it will allow me to autofocus.

The Tokina 11-16mm lens is designed to work with your D5100 as well as any current Nikon DX camera. I have used this lens with both a Nikon D50 and my Nikon D300. Focus is fast and accurate. I am very happy with mine.

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

I have a d7000 which, unlike the 5100, has a built in motor -- there is a motorized version of this lens available (which is the latest incarnation and costs between $50 and $100 dollars more -- THAT is the one you want to buy. It also has some coating upgrades, VR2 and waterproofing. There are only three words that really describe this lens. Sharp. Sharp. Sharp. I Hope this helps.

Buy this one if your on a D5100 or any of the D3000' series http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007ORX8ME/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1370389207&sr;=8-4π=SL75

I don't think it will, the D5100 requires the lens to have an autofocus motor, the D7000 and above have the motor in the body in the 1000 line. The 5100 and lower don't have focus motors in the body. The 10 and 100 lines have the motor as well.

Hi Qifan. I dont have the D5100, but that lens came with my D90 and thn also fit my D7000. I belive it will fit any of the modern Nikon's that are not full frame. You should be fine.

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...

YES, with full autofocus capabilities. When I first bought this lens I used it on my D70. I love this lens! Just got back from hawaii with it and it was a joy to use as always.

I have the Nikon D5100 and yes it does auto focus the camera before taking the picture

Yes, the nikon mount has been the same for decades. Also, the lens has a HSM (hyper sonic motor) built in which will auto focus with the D5100

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. It is a great lens, with your D5100 cropped dx sensor, this lens will be the equivalent to a 105mm - 300mm. Be certain to order with the nikon mount version.

If I'm seeing this lens correctly, it is not an AF-S lens, therefore it will not autofocus on a d3200... To quote Nikon: "Only AF-S lenses will work, AF lenses would require manual focusing. The lenses recommended are AF-S and fully compatible with your Nikon D3200 DSLR."

I don't know about the d7000 but with the d5100 you have to manually focus cause it doesn't autofocus since there is no motor in the cameras body

It should. It has a motor built in the lens itself (has built in AF motor). I use with a D5100 and it does. Be sure you get the DxII because there are two different ones (Dx I and Dx II). The focus is very quick also. Again be sure it's Dx II because the other does not have a AF motor built in which is why it's $100 cheaper. I almost bought the wrong one.

Yes but keep in mind the DX Sensor will give you a field of view 75mm-750mm. I use it on my D3s and D800 - it's focus is very zippy almost as fast as my 70-200mm VR1 - The HSM (Hypersonic Motor) will work with your D5100 since your camera body does not have a built-in focus motor.

In manual focus only. The d5100 does not have a focus motor to drive the auto focus

It will "fit", for sure. I am not sure if this lens has a focus motor. The D5100 does not have a built in focus motor. The lens works perfectly mith my D7000, which does have a built in focus motor. Sorry if I confuse you. BTW, the D5100 is every bit as good as the D7000, minus the bells and whistles.

I'm not for sure you may want to ask nikon. But I dont think so. It has a plug in wire for the automatic focus and I'm not sure your lens has the same plug
1735988
Yes and it will autofocus. I use it with my d600 and 24-70 f2.8 and 70-200mm. You just adjust the aperture on the camera just like any other lens.

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.
