Does this lens autofocus on DX Nikon DSLRs, or does it require manual focus?

autofocus works fine except when you are really zoomed in all the way ... sometimes it struggles with fast moving objects.

I use this lens with a Sony Alpha A77 camera, but I have a good friend that uses this lens with a Nikon DX and the autofocus works fine.

I have had one for about a year. I use it on Autofocus and hand held.I have been pleased with the quality of pictures I have gotten.RZ

Its a DX I bought one last year works great but you need a camera that has its own AF motor I have a D70s and the autofocus works great. But it doesn't work on my D5100

The lens does auto-focus on a D610 (and a D7000 as well), working great with either camera.

I should start off by saying I'm not an expert, just an afficionado. I'm not sure about your specific camera, but generally all Nikon DSLR lenses will work on all Nikon DSLRs. If your camera is old and does not have autofocus capability, then the lens will not autofocus and needs to be focused manually. I will add that this lens has wonderful bokeh, but it's so fast and sharp that I often used it without the Defocusing feature at all. It's great in low light.

Yes it has an internal Focusing Motor (Silent Wave Motor) which will allow autofocus on the lower end Nikon DSLRs. All Nikon DX AF-S lenses have a motor in the lens body, any just AF lens needs a camera with a motor in it.With a D3000 you want to look at any AF-S lenses from Nikon, or HSM from Sigma, or Tamron that states it has a built in motor.

This lens works fully auto with both my Nikon d5000 and d600. It will definitely work on manual focus with your body. Can't tell you for sure as far as auto

Yes it will work as a manual focus lens. But only manual. The Nikon d5100 does not have a built in AF motor which means AF and AF-I lenses will connect to the F-mount lens ring even though their is no motor to power the autofocus function. For any form of autofocus you need to get an AF-S or AF-D lense. If want to pull your own focus, this lens will work great.

Yes you can manually focus this lens. There are focus and zoom rings on the lens. You just need to set the camera to manual focus mode to do it.

Someone mentioned focusing on the D50 and D40. The D50 focuses both kinds of lenses-the newer AF-S and the old screwdrive AF lenses. But the D40 only focuses with the AF-S lenses that have the focus motor built into the lens. So no this lens will not autofocus with the D40, D40x, or D60.

Hi, thanks question. This lens can work autofocus for Nikon D800. Thanks in advance.

yes. you will need to lock the aperture ring at f/22 to enable autofocus. on DX it will be a 43-112mm equivalent lens, making it great for portraits. however, you will still need to cover the wide end, making it less than ideal as a walkaround lens. for the wide end, i would recommend getting the tokina 12/24/4

iam using this lens with a GX 1 camera. i just did a test and shot a video and focused manually after setting it to manual focus with a button on the camera.it worked.

No, this is a manual lens and I bought it knowing that, I have a D3100, too. My recent experience with autofocus 300mm lenses is their focus is spotty and they don't hold up well or for long. I think it has something to do with the size and weight of the lens, but that is my opinion. I decided it was better to go back to a two ring manual focus lens because they are reliable.

This lens doesn't have internal focus motor, nor your camera body, so you wont get autofocus with this lens version. You need the version DX II Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X116 Pro DX II Digital Zoom Lens (AF-S Motor) (for Nikon Cameras)

yes, you just wont have any auto focus.... so if your fine with manual focusing then this lens is great! amazingly sharp pictures and definitely my fav lens in my kit. but this lens does have an upgraded version with auto focus for all nikon camera.

Yes it does. That will make the lens a 140-400mm f/8 and at f/8 it will auto focus on all modern full frame DSLRs (D6X0, D750 and the D8X0). Also the D7100. I cannot speak for the D5XXX or D3XXX cameras, never having tried it there. If you need to know first hand, let me know and I will try it.

The II is the newest version. The Canon version is roughly identical in the DX & DX II, however the Nikon version has added functionality from the DX to the DX II, I believe by making auto focusing is now functional on all Nikon Cameras
