Would this lens work well with the Nikon D700 for family, children, &amp; newborn portraits?

Hi, Mindy, this lens is more useful to take pictures in long distances. It is a very versatile lens and you can take pictures for a high range. But because the cost, if you only need photograph objects not so far, you can use the lens 18-55 that comes with the body. This lens apply to your camera and it has a 11x zoom and has a very good image definition and luminosity.

I am using the D7100. With the tokina 100 pro auto focus works well. I recall when researching the lens that the auto focus works with D7000 also. It has proven to be an impressive lens.

Yep, this lens will work great with almost any Nikon DSLR. The only cameras it will have a problem with are D40, D60, D40X, and some of the newer crop-sensor cameras that inherit the D40s lack of internal focusing motor. Every Full-Frame DSLR has this motor, so no worries with the D700. I used this with my D50 in the past and kept it when I moved up to the D800. It's a great lens and it accounts for over 95% of my landscape work.On a full-frame sensor, it can handle 1 normal-thickness 77mm filter without vignetting. I've used it with a Circular Polarizer and it starts to vignette just a little bit at 17mm. Yep, this lens will work great with almost any Nikon DSLR.

I have a Nikon D7000. Also not a full frame. I love this lens. It should be fine for you.

Yes, it will work. I have this lens as well as a D7000. They work well together. Why does Amazon say it won't work? What is their rationale?

They're right sir. It is SUCH a superb lens (for the D7000 and D7100) I sold it and now regret it. I'll repurchase it soon. I can't even begin to tell you the "wow" photos I've taken with it. Make sure to get the B+W UV lens filter to protect it. Great for indoor and outdoor use too.

Yes. This is my "go-to" lens for landscape and close-quarters indoor work with the D700 and D800E. The only precaution I can think of is that it will block the built-in flash on these cameras at wider angles.

Absolutely. I use it on my D7000. An amazing lens for clarity. You'll love it.

I use this lens on my D300s, which is the dx (crop sensor) version of your full-frame D700. I've posted some pictures of jewelry in the "customer images" for you to scrutinize and make your judgment.

I use this lens with a Nikon D5100 and have found that it focuses quite fast indoors but I have shot mainly my kids lego tournament and choir in gyms. Others have taken basketball and volleyball photos - check out photos posted to pixelpeeper.com and the Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 HSM group on flickr.com

I have used it with a D800 and it is one of my all time favorite lenses. The D700 is also a full frame camera and this lens should be stellar. I don't thinik there is a better Nikon WA for the money than the 16-35.

Yes the lens is an FX lens and will work on the d700 just fine with no cropping.

I have used the lens with my Nikon D200, as well as my D300. Both cameras take great pictures with this lens. It is a great utility lens. It is slightly heavy weight wise, but clearly in the top of its class for a lens of this type.

That is exactly why I purchased this lens and I love it! The focus is a bit soft if you try and go below f2.2, but as I'm generally shooting moving children I usually keep it around f2.5 or 2.8 anyway. Hope this helps!

I may be the wrong person to answer since I don't do weddings nor much in the way of people images, but it would seem to me that this lens might be a bit slow for use with people unless you are using flash. Otherwise, it is a fine lens and has the expect Nikon quality.

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

I have the D7000. I find that the lens works very well but you do have the "crop" situation since it's not a DX specific lens. I guess it gives you an effective focal length of about 85mm. It is a very good lens. I used it for general photography at a party recently on my D750. Got some great pictures.
