Will this work for my d5000? What would the cons be? better choice than the Nikon 24 70mm because my 5000 isn't full frame?

The sigma 24-70 is also for full frame (DG), but yes, it'll work with the d5000 and it's cheaper than the nikon.

It probaby won't autofocus for you, and you may need a lot of light at 5.6. I think it doubles the amoutn of light needed. That shouldn't be a problem for a stellar camera like the D7000. I have one and it does a great job in ultra low light.

I think the previous responders are correct it is compatible with your D7000. I use it with a D 800 at 28-300mm. If you eventually upgrade to an FX sensor camera like the D600 or D800 it will also be compatible at 28 t0 300 at full frame. These camera allow you to use either FX or DX lenses. These cameras automatically crop to the DX sensor area when they sense a Dx lens. You can also select the area size even with the FX lens so that it sees a DX crop area which will effectively get you at Zoom range 28mm FX mode to 450mm DX mode. It works great and I find mine to be quite sharp.

I have no problems with it on my D7100. I have the 17-50 2.8 also, and that lens suffers from a weird issue where if you zoom into the image during playback, the pan buttons don't auto-repeat (you must press it yourself several times). That issue doe NOT affect the 50-150, and even if it did I find it a very small issue considering the image quality and price of the lens.

I use this lens on the new d600 which has a full frame sensor as does the older d700 , so I assume it should be just fine

HiAS far as I know there can be compatibility issues when using that lens with a entry -mid level range body. I myself use the d300s and work perfectly with it. The best bet is to go and try it first (if you can). Great lens tho. If i can give you advice, try to sell off the 5200 and maybe get something like the d300/d7000 or if you can a d700 or d800. Hope this helps

I think you should be comparing this camera to Nikon's D70s, not the D50. I just bought the D70s after much comparison shopping with the Canon XT. I don't think you can go wrong either way. The deciding factor for me was the superior lens in the Nikon kit vs. the Canon which everyone agrees is practically a throw-away. So if you do decide on the Canon, at least buy the body only and upgrade your lens.

I'm glad someone posted this question! It really has helped me decide to buy this lense too. I have the double kit with the other 2 lenses mentioned. I haven't used the 55 200 yet!! The weather is terrible and I'm afraid to take out the new camera. I do a LOT of indoor shooting of my kids and this lense sounds like it will work very nicely. I'm still blown away by the D5000. The pictures in just Auto mode with the 18 55 kit lense are night and day above my other cameras. I'm in heaven!

I went to this website, Borrow Lenses <http://www.borrowlenses.com> to rent this lens to use with my D5000 for a week to see how it will work with the D5000. I had rented other items from them to try before I buy. This lens is working great with my D5000.

Hi, I presume that you will be able to use this lens on your Nikon D7000. I have a Nikon D80 which has the same ring mount as the D7000, so it should be ok. Still, you should ask a pro shop before you buy. I can tell you that I DO really like this lens, it's fast, costs about half of the Nikon version, and it gives some very good images. The only draw back is its weight, kinda heavy. Good luck with your search. I hope this helps.

I have the D7000. I find that the lens works very well but you do have the "crop" situation since it's not a DX specific lens. I guess it gives you an effective focal length of about 85mm. It is a very good lens. I used it for general photography at a party recently on my D750. Got some great pictures.

This lens is very much compatible with the D7000. You'll love it! Since your D7000 has a DX sensor, you will have a 42-450mm lens on the camera due to the 1.5 crop factor. This is a full frame, or FX, lens. I used it on my own D7000 before I purchased a D800.

It will work but the Nikon 24-85 F/3.5-4.5G is the better choice for the FX D700. The 18-70 is a DX lens.

The reason i ask is D7100 is a 23.5 mm sensor and this lens is made for a 36mm sensor or a full frame sensor.. May be you should look at some DX sensors .. If you are inclined on this lens then i would suggest to save up a little more and get the D600 or D800... its definitely worth it and you will enjoy it a lot...just my suggestion.. :)

It will work with D5000. I am not familiar to D200, actually is not available in Nikon. You should direct your questions to "www.nikonusa.com" regto D200.

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