Nikon D5000 compatibility with lens: Is nikon d5000 compatible with Sigma 120-400mm f/4.5-5.6 AF APO DG OS HSM Telephoto Zoom Lens?

Yes it is compatable. Just expect it to be very top heavy with a big lens connected to a small camera.

I don't know the specs of the D5000 but I don't think it has that range, regardless of the lense...

This lens would not autofocus on my D5000, I suspect it will be the same on the D3200.

Using it on the Nikon D5200, so I would expect it would work on the D5000, although your mileage may vary

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.

Yes. HSM is Sigma's version of Nikon's AF-S. It features an internal motor so it will not only focus with the D40, but it will focus much faster than say, if you used a D50 with a normal AF lens, and it will be much more quiet.

It depends on the lens kit you have. The standard lens for the D5000 is the 18-55vr I think and that has a 52mm thread. If it's a different thread Opteka do several different version with different threads. I found that I had to remove the filter from the lens and screw it directly onto the lens. Otherwise I had problems focussing.

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%

This lens will not work on the A5000 without an adapter. You would be better off buying a lens specifically made for the 5000 rather than buying it with an additional expense of an adapter. Furthermore the additional bulk would seem to defeat the whole idea of buying thru 5000 for a compact camera setup.

yes it will work with the new d5000 (and the d40/d60), but it will not autofocus.

That case, is there any lens that autofocuses with D5000 with the spec of lens similar to this Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF?

This lens can mount to all Nikon Cameras. This lens can only be used as a manual lens on D5000 series cameras, meaning that you need to set the focus and exposure yourself. So while it is an excellent lens you need to apply photographic principles yourself using a light meter and manual focus to enjoy the benefits of this lens.

The Tamron 200-500mm lens does not have the autofocus motor built into the lens itself, and therefore cannot autofocus on your D5000. All the small-body Nikons in the D40 family (D40X, D60, D3000, D5000) lack the autofocus motor in the camera body which earlier (and substantially larger) Nikon DSLRs had. The absence of this AF motor and some other features is what keeps the D40 family cameras relatively small, light and inexpensive. Since all new Nikon lens designs since about 2003 have been AF-S type (with AF motor built into the lens) Nikon felt it was unnecessary to keep putting an AF motor in the body as well, since that motor would never be used anyway when the newer type lenses were mounted. However, third-party lens makers such as Tokina and Tamron still marketed a lot of Nikon-mount lenses without the built-in motor. Your 200-500mm is one of them. Tamron as a matter of fact has been catching up by putting AF motors in their newer lens designs, and redesigning some older models with built-in motor, but unfortunately they have not yet made this change in the 200-500. Your Tamron 200-500 should autofocus just fine on any of the other Nikons that still have the AF motor in the camera body (D50, D70, D80, D90, etc., etc., etc.).

Also, just found this on another eBay seller's ad for this lense:NOTE: Will only work in manual focus on the Nikon D40, D60, D3000, D3100, D5000, and D5100 series cameras. The lense is compatible with the D3000, but only on manual focus.

I have Sigma 150-500 for Canon. It works great with Sigma Teleconverter AF 2x DG using Canon 5D MK III, 70D, T3, and T5 with Manual Exposure or Auto without 2x.

You need to use AF-S lens with a motor in them because the D5000 does not have a motor for auto focus.
