Autofocus will work in a Nikon D5100? and I would like to know if there are a teleconverter, available for the D5100 and this lens

Well, it certainly should if you purchase it in a Nikon mount. :) It is an older design - optically superb, but not the fastest focusing lens. It has a two zone focus limiter to prevent racking the lens thru the entire focus range. If you are a sports/action photog, this lens will likely not be a great choice - buy the later version with OS and HSM focus motor. If you're more of a "slow photog" - like me - this lens is simply superb in terms of total lines of resolution, edge to edge sharpness and bokeh. I have two 105mm lenses (actually three - my Sigma 70-200 f2.8 APO DG HSM OS does 105, of course) and I will not part with the 105mm f2.8 EX DG, even though I have newer options. Re; the Sigma teleconverter - my Sigma 1.4x APO Tele Converter (EX DG) will not fit on this lens due to the depth of the rear lens element in the mount. Good luck and happy shooting! -Don at strimbu.photography

Yes. I have a friend who has a D5100 and it works fine with his. It's made for crop bodies like the D5000. Set the aperture to f8 and the focus just short of the infinity mark and everything in your viewfinder will be in focus.

My understanding is that will work but not be able to autofocus. You would have to manually focus - double check with Nikon or try googling it

Though I don't have experience with the D3200, the adapter works for me in Manual mode on the D5100. You have to dial in your lenses aperture and focus manually. If you're comfortable doing that and the D3200 has a Manual mode, I suspect you will be fine.

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.

Hi, I am using the amazing Tokina 11-16 mm on my Nikon D80, the autofocus works fine, great lens.

This can absolutely be used on a D5100 with some limitations, notably you will not be able to use auto-focus or built in light metering. Keep in mind many, many photos have been -- and will be -- taken without AF or metering. Really depends on the user but there is nothing stopping you from shooting with this on a D5100. Although I should note other than another answer here I can't say conclusively this lens wouldn't meter. Nikon has many charts and datum on their lenses, take a look for yourself.

I bought the Rokinon HD8M-N 8mm f/3.5 HD Fisheye Lens with Auto Aperture Chip for Nikon DSLR. On my Nikon D5100 and D40 this lens works automatically (auto, P, S and A modes) for everything EXCEPT focus. This lens without the chip is less expensive than the same lens with Auto Aperture Chip. I was happy paying the difference to get the lens with the chip; without the chip it's a manual lens (although on some cameras you may be able to set the aperture on the lens and use the Camera in Automatically in Aperture Preferred mode)YMMV

I have a Nikon D5100 and it worked seamlessly. Just take note that the electronics are different so you wont have the Auto Focus feature (or any other feature at all), meaning you have to use it in full manual control.This is a good choice for using Minolta lenses on your Nikon.

Yes, the auto focus works perfectly. My D5100 is the best cam sin the old slr days that I still own. I would have the cam checked out for a malfunction if yours is not working. Take care and good luck with a great camera.

Yes, it will work. It is not an auto focus so you have to manually focus the lens. I bought this for my D5100 and it works fine and it's very easy to focus manually. If you're shooting fast moving people or objects, you will have to get real good real quick!

It works OK with a D5100 and the 18-300 lens. It is a bit slow and clunky on autofocus, but it will focus in most all instances. Exposure seems fine as well. Just used it to take pictures of a boat race and they came out pretty good. For the bigger high speed class boats (80+ mph) I had to take it off and use the lens straight, just to fast for it ti focus. For anything stationary or moving slowly though it is great for the money.Bill

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.

Yes, the nikon mount has been the same for decades. Also, the lens has a HSM (hyper sonic motor) built in which will auto focus with the D5100

D80 has the autofocus motor in the camera body, d5100 does not. This means lenses without a built in autofocus motor will work in manual focus mode only.

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.
