Compatible with Nikon D7000 for sports?

It is compatible, but lens focuses very slow and would not trust it for sports action.

It could be, but on a tripod (I'd recommend ball head too and leaving it a little loose so you can easily rotate it to follow the action) and with manual focus and a bright sunny day.

They make a Nikon version..a number of people have commented on low speed for sports. Most. Lens of this focal length have similar F-stop range

I use it with my D7000 for sports and I am able to shoot for night games as well. Works fine for me.

I have a canon camera so I am not versed in Nikon. However I will tell you this is a slow lens. If you are not shooting in sunlight I wouldn't use it for shooting any action. This lens is better for getting landscape and animal shots across the valley where they are standing enjoying the day.

I've used it for taking baseball photos with my D700 and just like everyone has said it is VERY slow to focus. However if you shoot during the daylight it can work if you up your frame rate. The D700 can shoot 8fps to compensate but if you pre-focus and anticipate the action it also helps. If your gonna shoot indoor your SOL.

As has been said already, the nikon mount version will work just fine with the D700. The person mentioning "soft and fuzzy" pictures must have had a bad copy. I own the Nikon 16-35 and the Rokinon 14mm. The Rokinon is as sharp (actually a hair sharper) as the Nikon. I am a professional landscape photographer and test my lenses extensively.

Nikon's optics are incredibly 3-dimensional, with very bright and easy-to-see details. Just be sure the binocs you buy have a wide-enough field of vision to work while watching sports. You will love Nikon.

Yes; This lens is a really great buy to work with a D7000. There are some focus issues with D7000, but it could be resolved by fine tuning. I've been using this combination for the 4th year now.

Ditto answer--use the D7000 with the case in question with the Nikkor 18-200

Hi, I have one of this flash, it works with the D7000, just make sure that the flash is made for Nikon

I don't know with certainty if its compatible with the D700. I purchased mine to use with a D300 and it screws into remote release socket on the front of the camera body.

The lens will work just fine on your D7000 as is. You can find the exact dimensions on Nikon's site, but it's a hefty prime lens. It'll have the feel of a small kit zoom lens. But the quality is amazing!

Compatible but having an effective (35mm equivalent) reach of 112-320mm makes it, IMHO, a poor choice for portrait or landscape photography. It could be a good choice for indoor sports though.

I have a D3100 and it works perfectly! It does say it's compatible with the 7000, so I think you're ok

The Nikon 7216 Action 8x40mm Binoculars are the only ones that I own right now and I think that they work great for watching sports. They offer a crisp and clear view and aren't zoomed in so far that you lose track of what you're looking at.

I would not use my 85mm for sporting events, I would use my AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED. And use the sports mode on the dial.I am not a pro though.

Should. I use with D7000. Remember, it's heavy. Takes some getting used to.

Yes, this is a great camera for anything outside of sports photography. The frame rate is not the best out their but I shoot wedding and portraits with my DF with no issue.

Yes, it will be compatible with a D7000. D7000 is heavier than the cameras i've put on this, so i'd be a little cautious with that.
