So, does grey market mean that this lens is not made by Nikon? I have a Nikon D5200, will this lens fit with my camera?

No, this is a nikon lense, I have bought this lense and was very pleased! And it depends if it'll fit your camera, the lense is a DX format, so if your camera is a DX format then it will work for your camera! And I looked up your camera and it is a DX format!

I bought this for my dslr canon rebel t3 thinking it would fit, but it doesn't. Is the nikon d3200 a 55mm camera? I can't find any accurate descriptions on amazon that definitively answe what camera this lens is to be used on.

This lens does NOT have a focus motor inside, and therefor will not work with the least expensive Nikon bodies.I'm unsure where the D5200 falls, but I would think that this body is an upgrade from the D5000 (which did not have a focus motor, and therefore did not work with this lens)Something to consider.........This is a macro lens, and most (if not all) macro work is done using manual focus. (which will work with your body)Ken Rockwell has a page about this lens here.>>>>http://www.kenrockwell.com/tokina/100mm-f28.htm

Mine does not appear to be gray market. It was however shipped in a box for the body and lens kit with the lens removed. That is it appeared to be a package that was broken up and sold sepatately.

I don't know for sure where the lens is made, but of course Nikon is a Japanese company. The lens is a favorite of Ken Rockwell, whose opinions seem to be unanimously followed. If your concern is warranty, not quality, the question is whether the lens is grey market or carries a "usa warranty." The seller should tell you this.

The lens should fit your D5200 as it is basically the same camera to my D5100. The lens works perfectly and takes super shots. You will love it!

This is a Nikon USA. I bought mine last year. Grey market product are not under Nikon warranty in USA.

Yes, it fits it just fine. I personally use this lens with my 5200, and it is one of my favorite lenses. Be aware that it requires the 5200 to be in M mode, and you must change f/stop by hand on the lens, and must manually focus it.

You don't mention which Sigma lens you have, but I have a sigma lens that fits my D5200, but make sure that the lens itself has automatic focus as the D5200 doesn't have automatic focus.

If it's from Amazon or Adorama (where I got mine) and I'm sure B&H; and other big US dealers, it will definitely NOT be gray-market. Great lens too btw.

Gray market means that this lens is not distributed officially by Canon in the USA, so you don't have warranty of Canon USA, that's why is cheaper. The lens is the same lens, so if you don't care about the warranty go for it. Good luck!

For one, check the warranty .... grey market lenses may not offer a suitable warranty.

"gray market" doesn't have anything to do with the color of the lens, at least in this case. It just means that it's not sold with the USA warranty. Check out Adorama's FAQ for more info http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?op=FAQ#Grey%20Market%20Information:

My understanding is that the lens is compatible with all Nikon Digital camera bodies. I use it with a D90, D800 and D3200. You can check the Nikon site for compatibility. It's a great lens!

Not gray market , you can register to canon website this lens. Got my "new"never been use . I am happy and save a lot of money.

You can get one that is compatible with your Nikon, but I wouldnt. The quality just isnt there, for me anyway. I have found Sigma lenses to have much better quality and to last well. All my lenses at this point are Sigma, for all my cameras.
