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.

I use it with a d3000 and it works great. I.think it also works with a d5000.

Hello, Yes it would fine on a D5000. Infact The camera I had before my D7000 was a D5000. I had no issues with the lens, The lens has an internal focus motor so auto focus wont be a problem. and at 2.8 with the Zoom you can create amazing Bokeh. The images are sharp for what I do, Sure we would all love a 70-200 VRII From Nikon. But lets be honest I do this as a hobby not professional and The images i've got with the Tamron are Amazing!! Thanks

It works with my D200, which has a focusing motor in the camera body. My understanding is that the D7000 has the same capability. So I'd bet the answer is "yes". One note: I just bought one of these recently and have been testing it like mad. I'll write a review soon, but it seems sharp as a tack, and nice and light. An incredible bargain at $40! Only one fly in the ointment, though: When using this lens, my D200 underexposes by about a full stop. Knowing that (from my testing), I can live with it. I just need to set the camera to +1.0 stops on the exposure compensation when using this lens. Easy enough to do IF I remember. It is consistent exposure-wise with my Nikon lenses if you meter with a hand-held meter and set the camera manually. For example f/5.6 @ 1/125 taken through this lens gives the same exposure as f/5.6 @1/125 taken through my Nikon 18-70. One last note, and I'll have written my review... Be careful not to let stray light get in through the eyepiece on your camera when using this lens. With it being so slow (f/4), the stray light is much more significant to the meter than if you were using a fast (f/1.8) lens. I think this would apply to any slow lens, not just this one.

This lens is a DX lens, that means it is NOT build for Full frame cameras. However, the lens would work on your d610 but at half it´s resolution. I recommend to buy a 24-85 if you are on a budget, a 24-120 if you have a little extra money and, if you are a pro or want to be a serious photographer, you should go for a 24-70 f2.8

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.

Yep! I had this for my D40 and the D50 is essentially the same body. Terrific lens, btw.

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%

It works with the d5000, but not with all lenses. it has to be a special type of lens. I dont remember right now what it is called, but you will have to check if it works with the lens you have in mind to use. I use it for my 300f4.

Congrats on the D5000 (and both great lenses you have). Be sure and get that 35mm down the road, believe me it will probably be the best 200$ you'll ever spend if you do any shooting indoors. I have tons of other lenses (including a 50mm f/1.4) so I held off for a while on getting the 35mm f/1.8, once I did finally get it I was kicking myself for not getting it sooner, it's that good. Happy shooting.

dear kimmers: i am new to the nikon system camera and i really do not know if this lens would work on the d50. i just bought the d7100 and that is where my knowledge ends. sorry!!! ps. try calling a camera store; they would probably know.

Yes, this lens works with Nikon D5000. It has build in focus motor and will work with all Nikon DSLRs.

It will work fine on the D7000, just select the Nikon version. Concur with the other answer: go for the Nikon lens, if you can afford it. Sigma is excellent, the Nikon is great (which I would place just ahead of "excellent"). Of course, the Nikon costs almost twice as much -- your call whether a little better image quality would be worth $1100. Resale value would be better for the Nikon lens. All that said, I'm very happy with the Sigma, it performed flawlessly on African safari.

Hello,I too was confused when I first bought that camera. especially after purchasing lenses for it and getting the wrong ones. This lens is not going to work with your camera. The camera is great but it doesn't have a focus motor in the actual camera itself. So, you have to make sure all the lenses you buy have a motor in them. They will say AF-S in the title. They are easily distinguishable by the buttons on the side of the lens (M/AF). Similar to the stock lens that comes with the D5000. Hope this helps !

Should be no problem on the D5000. I'm using it on the D7100. Just remember the enlargement factor of 1.4 (1.5?) turns it into a 119mm lens.

I shoot a full frame Nikon D800E, and it performs beautifully. I can only imagine it does equally as well with the Canon 5Dmk III. It is a bit heavy, but certainly lighter than my 500 f4, and the focal range makes it a great all purpose lens.
