I have nikon d5100 with AF Can I use this lens in autofocus mode?

Not a powered lens. Does not have auto focus option on the lens. Great image though.

This lens does not have an autofocus motor so regardless of the camera you have it will not autofocus

No, I've used my liveview mode on my d7000 to get a better idea of focus and then I've shot on a tripod. The portraits I've taken have been beautiful. If you have a lot of fast moving subjects, you may want to look at the Nikon 85mm f/1.8 autofocus.

This is a purely manual lens. It does not auto focus on any camera body. If you buy the chipped version of the lens, you can set aperture from camera and you can see the green dot in view finder that helps in manual focusing.

Yup, manual focus. Somewhat difficult to focus at f1.4 on my D7000 - dof very shallow, of course. I found it a little long on the cropped sensor. The Voightlander 58mm f1.4, while also manual focus and a little more expensive, is the perfect focal length for head-shots.

This a manual lense. Being 8mm focassing is not a problem as long as you remember to keep it around infinity unless your subject is within a few feet. I have had a lot of success with this lense and would recomend.

No, it is a manual focus lens. You sacrifice the auto focus for amazing optics for the money. Some have said it is as good as the zeiss with autofocus at $2k. Having said that, my Sony Alpha-55 does still do face detection and metering to help with taking the photo.

The D5100 only autofocuses with the latest AF-S lens, and also older professional AF-I lens. Briefly, AF-S lens have a built-in motor to drive the focusing mechanisms on the lens, whereas AF lens rely on the motor in the camera body (like the D90 or the D7000). Most traditional screw-drive AF lenses will not autofocus on the D5100, but will autofocus on the D90/D7000. Lens that say "AF-S," will autofocus with the d5100, and most lenses sold today for the D5100 are AF-S. The D5100 has no internal autofocus motor, so it will not autofocus with original-style screw-drive AF lenses. This is why some lens will autofocus with the D5100, and some won't.

As far as I know, the nikon d3100 doesn't have it's own autofocus motor so you would be able to use it only in manual mode when it comes to focusing.

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)

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

autofocusing will not work, as you do not servo built in your camera. You should look for lenses marked "af-s"...or get D70, D80, D90, D7XXX, or any of hundrets DX00.

No, this one isn't (at least the copy I bought didn't have it). You'd need a Nikon D50, D70, D90, D300, D7000 or similar in order to use autofocus (AF-D mode). There is another model that includes an AF-S motor and includes the feature in the description.

No, this version of the lens (AF-D) will not autofocus on the D5200. You will have to purchase the AF-S version in order to have autofocus.

Hi, I don't know. With my D5100 it works only in Manual Mode.Take a look if you D90 have built in AF motor, than it could work also in AF. Good Luck!

It have a autofocus motor BUT you can only AF mode with the nikon D7000 or advance. Why? Because the lens dont have a switch to can change from manual to auto focus, so the cameras that have the switch so you can change ir from the camera are the nikon d7000 and the newers like D7100 and all the full frames

The AF works really well on the D5100 my friend. The site you saw that information on has no idea what they are talking about. The image quality of the photos are great too. Kirt

You you will get full exposure control with your D5100; but you'll have to manually focus (see other responses for the auto focus model of this lens). It's a bit soft at 300mm, but tack sharp on the wide end.

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.

I have a Nikon D5100 and I bought this lens for my camera. The lens works perfectly with my D5100. The D5100 has auto-focus capabilities, and because this lens as the "VR" designation, it too is an auto-focus attachment! It's been a great addition to my set-up!

A qualified yes. Auto focus might not work. Look up "Nikon lens comparability"
