I'm a newbie, I'm aware that this lens has to be manually focused..no problem...but will it fully work with my d3100, anything else I should know?

You can use this lens on your camera but there are two things you should be aware of: 1. This is an old fashion manual focus lens. Many photographers prefer them because of the solid metal body construction as well as fine focus control. This lens won't auto focus on any camera, including the one you own. 2. Your camera can only get meter information through electronic auto focus lenses. You need a D200, D300, D700 or any of the professional series Nikon DSLR in order to get meter Information through these manual focus lenses. This is not really a big deal for an experienced photographer. It just means you either use an external meter or take some test shots to determine optimal settings. Hope this helps.

I believe that the lens is compatible with the D3100. I have it on the D200 and all the lenses are interchangeable.

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.

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

This lens will not work. The receptacle of the Nikon 1 lens is smaller than the D3100 receiver. I own both the Nikon1 and D3100 cameras.

I am using this lens with the D3100 and have no lag issues. In less you are in very low light, or working with an image that has very a low contrast background, focus should be good. Focus with the Tamron is as fast and accurate as with my Nikon 55-300 lens, maybe faster.

I have found that this lens fits the d3100 as well as the d3200. For more info on the specs see this link...http://snapsort.com/compare/Nikon-D3200-vs-Nikon_D3100/specsAs a matter of fact there is very little difference between the two besides price and a few small features that a more versed photographer might find critical but otherwise this lens should work for you.

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.

Yes, it actually works fine with all the Nikon lens I have. Some of the lens though, will only work in manual focus mode if the lens does not have a motor itself...

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)

On the D3100, this lens will not autofocus because it does not have its own internal focusing mechanism. I believe the D3200 is a newer version of the D3100 and also requires a lens with its own SWM ("silent wave motor") for autofocus. Thus, you can use this on your D3200 only in manual focus.

Yes--I use it for my D3000 and it works wonderfully! (You can't use auto-focus with it... but I HATE auto-focus, so that's not a problem for me.)

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.

I don't know if it will work for the d3100 or not. I got mine for a canon, hoping it would work but unfortunately it doesn't.

I have a D3100 and the teleconverter works but it is slow to focus. If I had to buy again I would not save the money and buy a nikon teleconverter it works better and faster.
