Is this lens Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor good for the Nikon D3100

I actually own both, and it's obvious that the lens is amazing. I shot a wedding with this combination and my other camera is a d7000 with a 17-55mm 2.8. My experience was hit and miss, just because the ISO is horrible on the D3100. In all honesty it all depends on what kind of shooting you are doing. If you will be shooting outside and in very low ISO - 400 or less - then you won't ever complain about too much noise on your images. The VRll is a monster of a lense, I would go for an used VRl. In my opinion this lens or the VRl are a great addition to any camera. Hope this helps

Yes, but you'll have to focus manually. Of course, you may wish to with this lens. If you want autofocus with the D3100, look at AF-S lenses.

I have not tried it with a D7000, but Nikon's web site implies that it would:http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/2186/AF-S-NIKKOR-300mm-f%252F2.8G-ED-VR-II.html

..for the money it is suppose to be an excellent lens. Read any and all reviews. My issue is with the noisey motor. Check out the lens at a nikon dealer for the final answer. Its a DX lens it will fit the d3000. Not sure exactly how much damping the VR provides, but its pretty good for a $250 55-200mm lens.

Yes it does work with the Nikon D3100, we purchased it and have enjoyed its functionality. One thing to remember is that this lens does not have automatic focus.

It sure will work, but you are gonna have to use manual focus because d3100 doesn't have its own motor, just like this beautiful lens

The nice thing about Nikkor lenses is that they will fit and any Nikon camera. This one however has an auto focus mechanism in it that some cameras are unable to do. I do not believe that the auto focus will work with the D3100. You will have to manually do so. The pictures however are great. I have this lens and I love it.

Yes. I bought this same lens hood to put on the 18-55mm 3.5-5.6 kit lens that came with my Nikon D3100. It works as it should.

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.

Yes it will, this lens is made to work with DX DSLRs with F-mount and the D3100 is a DX DSLR camera with F-mount

It works just fine on my D90 and my FX & DX lenses. You shouldn't have any problems with your D3100.

Hello Fronia. Yes. It will indeed work with the Tamron lens on your Nikon D3100. Thank you - Chester

NO, but for me this is a great lens and less than half the price of the 70-200 2.8, use on D-800. I like shooting concerts and use this lens a lot when I want to get close up shots of musicians from a distance or my Nikon 24-85 2.8-4D also an older lens but gives me great results. Just Me.

It will work but only with manual focus because the D3100 uses autofocus based at the lens itself rather than at the camera. If you already own this lens and are wanting to up-grade your camera, it will work on full autofocus with the D7000 as that does have the motor for autofocus. If you have a D3100 and are thinking of buying this lens then, so long as you're happy using manual focus, you'll be fine. Otherwise, if you're wanting to continue using autofocus, you'd be much better to go for the Nikkor 18-55mm VR lens which will give you full function with the D3100.

This lens won't autofocus with a D3100, it requires an internal focusing motor D90/D7000. It will still operate on the D3100 just as a manual focus lens. No it doesn't have VR.
