Would this lens work good and take good pictures on a Nikon D5000?

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.

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 just did some more research and it does say that it has a built in motor which means that yes the auto focus would work for the d5000. The d5000's auto focus only works with lenses that have the built in motor.

I have one that works with the D5000. I am sure all Nikons are compatible so you can use multiple lens. I know Sigma makes several lenses specifically for Nikon. I would have to believe it will work wih the D5500, though I can't be 100%

I really love my Nikon 55-300mm.. it takes really good pictures, I feel you would really like it to... hope this helps

Yes. Of course. This is an afs lens so it even focuses on the cheap bodies, eg d5100. If you asking how well it focuses, it is very good.

I use it with a d3000 and it works great. I.think it also works with a d5000.

Yes it works well. Decent lens for size. Bit of telescoping on corners until you zoom it slightly

Hello, I believe what you are asking is will it AF with your body. As this lens is an AF-S lens, and thus has the focusing motor built into the lens, it will AF with Nikon bodies like the D5000 that do not have a focusing motor built into the body. Thanks, please let us know if you have any other questions.

It will work. The problem I face is that fitting the tubes on the camara is kind of odd feeling, like they are not well designed for at least D300s. I have also tried on a D5000 with the same feeling. Whichever the lens you use, you will get the effect, the downsize would be the risk of having a hard time to separate the tubes from the camera.

According to Nikon, it will. I do not have a D5000, so have no personal experience.

I have this lens mounted on my D5100 and it works fine. I'm an amateur photographer (for what it's worth) but this lens is the sharpest I've used! Nice lens!

This is a DX (APS) lens. It will give you full coverage on your D5000, but will function as a manual lens for both focusing and exposure. It will also work on your D800, allowing you to expose automatically using aperture priority. The lens doesn't give you full coverage with the D800, however, and the result will be a circular image (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). Ken Rockwell has an excellent review on his web site http://kenrockwell.com/tech/8mm-f35.htm.

Hi, This lens is compatible with the D5000 so I would think it would work fine on the 5100. It will definitely fit the camera. You will likely need to adjust settings so your camera can read the light sensor etc. That is typical with a third party lens. I use it on my D90 and like it a lot as an all purpose, walk around lens.

It will fit, but it will be manual focus only. The D5000 only autofocuses with G lenses.

Mindy, so far the pictures I've taken have been good, crisp and clear pictures. I'm sure it would depend a lot on various factors especially light and distance. I have this lens on my Nikon 5000 all the time. It has replaced my 18-55 kit lens. I brought it with me walking around in a recent vacation to Maine and when we went sailing. It is a little heavier than the kit 18-55 lens but not as heavy as the 55-200 lens. It is so much more versatile. It has a wide angle and zoom. I'm no pro. Just an amateur who takes pictures of family and sights when on vacation. I love this lens. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi, This lens as you says the D3000, D5000, D7000 in the series of camera does not work for the auto focus. And you can manual shooting. Thanks in advance.
