Would this work with a Nikon D5300 and would this be appropriate for outdoor family photos?

I wouldn't justify buying expensive lens like that for non-pro camera, more than that autofocus will not work on D5300.

It would work, yes, but wouldn't autofocus and so wouldn't be ideal for family portraits IMO/IME.

This is not a lens for the purpose you ask about. On your camera it would be equal to a 200 mm lens which is not useful for group photos. I'd stick with your 18-55 mm lens for family photos

It's perfect for outdoor family photos if you stand back a bit but unfortunately this lens won't autofocus on D5300. You need a body that has a built in moter. For D5300, go buy 85mm 1.8G.

As Sunny already said, it is an F-mount, so it will work. It is a great way to try a Lensbaby without paying a lot. :)

Not a good choice for this application - suggest you do more research on time lapse photography. Nikon does have small cameras that do this sort of thing. Suggest you contact Nikon - they can help. Good luck.

Hi, this is exactly the camera I'm using it on. I have both the D5200 and the D5300. It has worked really well so far. I bought it in February 2014

I also have a D3200 and it works well. I am such an amateur photographer that I'm not sure I know enough about it to recommend it or not. My friend however, is a photographer and thinks it is good and would recommend it. Sorry for the delay in responding.

It will work, but remember there is a 1.5x crop factor with your camera. Basically this will be a VERY close zoom on your subjects.

It will work, but only with manual focus. Exposure meter and all other features will work.

It works with my D5200. There's no reason why it shouldn't work with D5300. Ideally it should work with all Nikons.

Well, I've got a Nikon D5000 and it works fairly well (great for it's price) I say fairly because I tried to use it at the beach on a very windy day and it wouldn't work when the wind was blowing, anyhow I think that would happen with most remotes..

I got the viewfinder to work on the Sony A57 by using a roto tool and grinding out some of the metal. The metal is easy to grind... But I have not tried to attach it to a D5300

Yes I think it should work . I shoot canon but I've seen Nikon shooters using it also. For me it real makes it easier to check focus and see that screen especially when it is sunny out

It works perfectly with my D5100, so I feel confident it will work with the D5300. Nikon lenses are generally very interchangeable, except that some cameras like my D5100 use the smaller sensor, and some of the more expensive cameras use a larger sensor. Anyway, if the lens doesn't work you can always return it.

I WOULD SAY IT IS MORE HELPFUL FOR LANDSCAPE PHOTOS. It's a good deal, but because they have to be fastened wit a set screw, it's not ideal for spontaneous shooting. I am not sure how much I will ever use this item.

It works with my D90 but I don't know about the D5300, best is to contact Tokina, they can help :)

This camera should work just fine for photos in this type of lighting. I would just suggest you use a tripod to ensure the pictures are sharp.

I believe so. Nikon web site lists which camera this will work with. I have used with people and flowers and had good results with both.

I have a Nikon D5300 with a AF-S 18-300 DX. Works great with moderate lighting and above. AF still works and is a great cost effective way to add extra reach. It softens the picture a little bit with large prints. So far it's been a great little gadget.
