Yup, if you're comfortable using manual focus this will work with your D3100. With that said, I'd probably put my money towards the 35mm 1.8 (Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras). It's more expensive and can be a little hard to get your hands on, but it will auto focus with the D3100. However, if you want a great lens to shoot static images (product shots, nature shots, even portraits) you really can't go wrong for the price. If you plan on taking candid pics of your kids or other non-posed pics, expect to loose some nice shots while you're trying to manually focus.

It will not autofocus on the 3100, but it will meter fine. AF-D lense do have a CPU. What they lack is a built-in focuing motor.
2027084
Actually no; the lens certainly will fit on your D3100 but the camera won't know it is there unless you put it in(M) manual mode, and then the TTL lightmeter won't work. Only CPU lenses work with the D3100 or D3000, or D5000, and D5100

Here is a chart showing what can be used with the D3100:http://www.nikonians.org/nikon/slr-lens.htmlBasically, you can buy this lens, but you'll need to manually focus. One lense close to the 50mm above, is the 35mm:Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens for Nikon Digital SLR CamerasThis one will autofocus with the D3100. Hope this helps.

It fits on the D3100, and you can take pictures with it; but nothing automatic works with it so it doesn't autofocus, and it doesn't TTL light meter; only CPU lenses work.

There IS a 50mm that will AF with the D3100 now, but it hasn't been released yet. Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras

Thanks for answer , but what about I must only buy the DX lens only ? , sorrey I am new in cams

You can buy a lens that is not DX and many will work fine. This one above will not auto focus. The Nikon AF and AF-D will not work on a camera that does not have an internal focus motor, like the D3100. The later lenses, AF-S, will work and auto focus. If the lens is an FX you will not get an image that is as wide and tall as what you see in the finder on a DX camera. You will get a good sharp image but you must compose more carefully to avoid the DX sensor cropping out vital parts of the image the FX lens can see.

I too am curious. Other similar lenses advertise that they work on more camera types. That if they say D3000, or D3200, then it'll work on the same series. For instance, is fails to mention if it works with Nikon D3300, which is what I have. So I'm trying to find out now.Anybody know for sure?Mike in NH

The Nikon 50mm f/1.8D does not have an autofocus system built within the lens. The Nikon D5100 does not have an autofocus motor inside the camera body. So this leaves you stuck without autofocus in general. This lens is to be used with a camera with an autofocus motor inside the body of the camera (i.e. D90, D7000). If you wanted a lens just like this or better, check out the Nikon 50mm f/1.8G lens. It does have a motor inside the lens which enables you to have autofocus in use with your D5100. I myself have the D5100 and have the 1.8G lens. It has awesome performance with relatively quick autofocus. Hope this was helpful.

This lens will auto focus on both the D5100 and the D3100. Look for the AF-S desgination in the description of the lens to determine if it will auto focus.

Hi, thanks question. This lens can work autofocus for Nikon D50. Thanks in advance.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you but to answer your question yes the lens will work on your D3100 Hope this helps

The lens will fit so long as you buy the Nikon F mount adaptor however there is no auto focus. This lens is strictly manual. This is not an expensive, high quality lens. I use mine for fun, not for serious photography.

You need to get the optional lens adapter for F-mount lenses:Nikon FT-1 F-Mount AdapterYou can read the limitations and specifications under the description of the adapter. Not all Nikkor lenses ever made will work, auto-focus won't work with lenses that don't have autofocus motors in them, field of view is altered, etc. Still, it means there are far more lenses available for the Nikon 1 system than any other mirrorless camera. I would imagine that would be more important to someone with a collection of Nikkor lenses than for someone just trying to decide what camera to buy.

It has an attachment to connect to a lens. I had to attach it to the end of my regular lens. I returned it because if I adjusted the lens off of my lowest setting it didnt work. I thought it was a waste and returned it. And honestly, it didnt do much of what it said. I wasnt impressed at all. I dont know if it will fit your D3100. If it has a normal range lens, than I would assume do. ( 15-50)

Thank you for your interest in our package deal! In regards to your inquiry, this lens is compatible with the Nikon D3100. You will have to use the Precision Design T Mount for Nikon included in this bundle for the lens to adapter to the D3100. Also, this lens is Manual Focus and works in Manual Mode only. Therefore, you will lose any automatic function.

This lens is fully compatible with the D7000 but it will not auto focus on the D3100.Hope this helps. Thank you for shopping our store. We appreicate your business. Blue Penn Cameras

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 has a minimum aperture of f/45 (for Sigma, Canon and Konica Minolta mounts) or f/32 (for Nikon and Pentax mounts) Like the D3000 before it, the Nikon D3100 sports an AF-S lens mount, which lacks autofocus support for the older AF lenses whose focus mechanisms were driven from the camera. These lenses have what looks like a little screwdriver slot on their mounting flange that couples with a protruding, screwdriver-looking shaft on the camera body. A motor in the camera body is thus required to drive the lens mechanics to adjust focus. More recent Nikkor lenses have motors built into the lens body, which tend to be both faster and quieter than the old-style drive system, as well as allowing the camera body to be lighter, smaller and cheaper. These newer lenses carry an AF-S or AF-I designation in their name, and are the only types of lenses the D3100 can autofocus with. CPU-equipped lenses lacking built-in focus motors can be used in manual focus mode, and type G or D lens types will also support full 3D color matrix metering for more accurate exposures, particularly when flash is being used. (You can tell CPU-equipped lenses by the set of five electrical contacts arrayed on the side of the lens flange.)

Yes, Nikon D3100 and D3200 cameras have same mount for the lens. Since this lens came with D3200, it should be compatable with Nikon D3100 camera. I have already sold my 18-105 lens.

Sure, this lens will work with D3100, but there are another 35mm for DX (APS-C sensor) which is a bit sharper, smaller and MUCH cheaper. Unless you buy this lens and expect to upgrade to Full Frame (FX) in the future.

The lens works fine on my Nikon D3100 camera with one exception; it does not auto-focus (which I know) and I am having trouble getting landscape photos in focus.

Yes. I own and use a d3100. The lens fits and works. It is manual focus though.
