The "AF" is not in the lens description, compared to the non-kit version. Does the lens in this kit have Auto-Focus capability?

I bought this kit, and yes, it has both AF and MF capability. Love this lens!

Yes ... But no auto focus. The d3100 doesn't have the motor built in to do that and relies on the motor in the lens. I have a d3100 by the way. No AF Also have a 7100 and the AF works great

Hello, there is an Auto Focus on this lens. Click the switch by AF - M to use Auto Focus (AF) however when shooting Macro, it's usually better and easier to manually focus. I hope this helped.

Yes. This will auto focus even on cameras that don't have an internal AF motor built in.

There are two versions. One is for Micro 4/3 and the other for Sony. Neither requires an adapter and works well with auto focus and aperture. Excellent lens for the price.

Are you sure? everything I have read so far states it doesn`t auto focus. Thats why I didn`t buy it yet. I can`t see buying one if I have to focus in shots anyways.

It does have auto focus. Full time manual focus means that you have the ability to manually focus even when the lens is set to "AF". You can also override the AF with manual focusing even with the AF activated.

You will need the newer AF-S version for you to be able to auto focus. Neither your camera or this lens have built in focus motors.

No it does not. You will need to set your camera to Aperture priority and then set the f/stop on the lens. Nor will it autofocus a lens. This is best used if you have an older fixed f/stop lens or are using a older macro lens.

You can manually adjust the aperture or allow the camera to set the f stop. As far as auto focus the lens does have a motor

There is no AF support for non AF-S lenses with the D3000 or the D5000. Manual focus only

Sorry, no. There is no mechanism for auto focus on this lens (difficult for this type of usage anyhow).

Can't answer directly, but I have used this lens with a 6D, and have gotten pin sharp images with typically spectacular Canon color rendition. The AF is almost instantaneous. The image quality, IS, and a more substantial look and feel would make me choose this lens over the older version every time.

Yes, it does. On the side of the camera where the lens connects to the camera, there is an AF to MF lever that allows you to auto focus or manually focus your camera. I am a newbie to this setup (the REBEL 3 with EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS lens), so that is the extent of my experience with this camera. I have taken a few pictures and they are quite nice. I refer you to your instruction manual for further details...

No that is the other Sony model that has the auto focus built into it. This one is, connect the lens and manual focus. Hope that helps.

Christina: Your camera will not autofocus with an AF lens, as it does not contain the motor inside the camera. (SWM), but will perform all other functions manually. You need AF-S lenses which contain SWM motor. That is why the difference in price from an AF-S and an FS only. I hope this might help.

Depends on the camera. This lens does not have an internal focus motor for AF so the camera must have the motor in the body for full AF. For example, it will AF with my old D100 and current D300s but not with my D5200 (have to manual focus). All other functions however will work fine.
