Will this fit a Nikon D5100 ? Will it be useful only for macro focusing or would it also be useful in focusing on objects that are further away?

I can't address if the eyepiece will fit the D5100 check the Nikon compatibility chart. I have found it of value in macro work for that extra edge in sharpness. Many factors come into play ie. age of your eyes, use of mirror-up-option and quality of lens.

It comes with an adapter that replaces the original eye piece and the magnifier screws into the adapter. It is very helpful for macro but will also work very well for anything you feel requires manual focusing.

It does help you focus however you cannot see the entire field unless you flip it up out of the way. So for stationary objects it will help. I have a D90 Nikon. I don't know if it will fit your eyepiece. You should look at the Nikon website.

Yes, but You will loose some capabilities of D5100 like autofocus and lightmete and this lens doesn´t have a diafragm, or else it´s totally open. Anyway it´s very usefull and I´ve get wonderfull pictures with it. João, funciona mas você precisa usar a D5100 em modo manual, sem ajuste de abertura e sem o auxilio do fotômetro. Eu controlo no ISO e na exposição. Leva algum tempo para se acostumar mas compensa, pois a diferença de preço para uma objetiva multifocal equivalente é absurda. Eu recomendo.

I use this 500 mm lens with a Nikon D600. The range of focus is from about 7 feet to infinity.

Yes! I use it will the d5100 and it is perfect! It has autofocus but keep in mind this lens does not zoom. It is fixed at 50mm which is perfect for taking portraits. The images captured through this lens are amazing. It was definitely worth every penny.

I don't think the autofocus will work on the d3300, but I never use autofocus with macro so it doesn't matter if that is what you want to use it for.

I have had the vf4 for over a month on my d7100. If fits great and I absolutely love it. I have a 500mm f4 lens and a 300 mm f2.8 lens (both manual focus). I now can really tell if the lens is in focus or not. I use it for macro work too, it simply works great!!

It will work beautifully. Just remember to get the one for Nikon mount and you can get it with the focus confirmation chip. Enjoy!

Yes it should fit Your d5100 as long as it has the 52mm screw in filters work, the the lens will work on Your camera!! Quality of the lens is amazing for the price! You can also separate the lens for macro close up photos! It's A great value for the money....

Yes, this is a terrific lens for the D5100. It will auto focus on this camera as it has the focus motor built into the lens itself. This lens is fantastic in low light situations. But it can be a bit tight in small spaces. This is the lens I love for newborn photography and with pets...Love the Bokah this lens gives.ETA: I use this lens with my D40x, D7000 and D700...

Yes, the lens does very good macro photos, to get 1:1 aspect the distance is about 6 inches, I also recomend tu use a flash ring to avoid thshadows in some shots. The lens is great, works very good on macro and casual shooting with a very good f2.8 stop.

Look up a micro 4/3 macro extension tube. It mounts between the lens and body, and you can use different length tubes for different distances. It's cheap too. The only catch is it doesn't allow for auto focus.

Yes it should work well. I have a Nikon D5100 with the stock 18-55mm lens and a 70-300mm lens. Everything fits perfectly.

Yes. This lens is designed for cropped (APS-C) sensors like the D5100. Have fun!

It should work just fine. it's 52mm just like all Nikon lenses. Use it in manual focus in plenty of light or flash, and you will have an inexpensive macro lens.

It produces a pretty decent macro in my opinion I've used it very little for such though... If you're looking for a specific macro lens though, this is not it.

I have used it with my Nikon d5100 and up to a 55mm-300mm lens. It worked decently well for a compact tripod to take on the hike in my camera bag. I would suggest a remote release with it though.

It will work for any nikon mount, it does not have the contacts for AF/DOF or anything like that though, so in that respect it wont work. However you can still use manual focus with it.
