Will the lens work with a Nikon D5100?

It fits on mine with the included adapter, but of course auto-focus doesn't work and it must be shot in manual changing shutter speed to get decent shots. Takes lots of experimenting.

I think it should. My son has a 5200 and it works fine as long as you know how to work with all manual settings on your camera. The lens takes practice to get manual settings figured out but it takes great pictures. "Must be on a tripod! "

It should. It has a motor built in the lens itself (has built in AF motor). I use with a D5100 and it does. Be sure you get the DxII because there are two different ones (Dx I and Dx II). The focus is very quick also. Again be sure it's Dx II because the other does not have a AF motor built in which is why it's $100 cheaper. I almost bought the wrong one.

it will fit the camera, it will just not use the full view of the lens. it will be cropped to the 1.5 that the D5100 sensor is.

It will "fit", for sure. I am not sure if this lens has a focus motor. The D5100 does not have a built in focus motor. The lens works perfectly mith my D7000, which does have a built in focus motor. Sorry if I confuse you. BTW, the D5100 is every bit as good as the D7000, minus the bells and whistles.

I don't think it will, the D5100 requires the lens to have an autofocus motor, the D7000 and above have the motor in the body in the 1000 line. The 5100 and lower don't have focus motors in the body. The 10 and 100 lines have the motor as well.

I use mine with a D7000 and a D70 and it works fine so you shouldn't have any problems using it with a D5100.

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 would think so, there are other larger lenses that fit the d5100. I don't see it on this website, but you can see other larger lenses. http://lenshero.com/lenses/nikon-d5100-lens-by-sigma I'm using a MarkIII, so I can't help that much.

Hi! I don't think so. I doesn't work on my D5100, just MF.Buy the 50mm f/1.8G. Good Luck!

I think so but you may need a T2 to Nikon mount adaptor. It is a manual lens and no need to have any electronic interface. So, once you mount to the camera it should work.However, I do not own a D5100 and can't experiment with it. Some camera (like Panasonic M43 models) DO NOT work without lens by default. For these camera, you should enable working without lens option in order to use manual lens.

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....

I use this lens on a D7000 and get excellent results, especially with auto focusing when shooting birds in flight. However, regarding your inquiry about the D5100 be aware that the user's manual for the lens (Nikkor ED 80-400mm F/4.5-5.6D) states on p. 15, "Autofocus is not possible with Nikon' D5000, D3000, D60 and D40-Series cameras. When using the lens with these models, set camera focus mode to M." I believe that the D5100 has the same autofocus limitation as the D5000.

I can't make any guarantees, but it should. It fits the D5100 according to this (http://nikonrumors.com/forum/topic.php?id=4505), so it should work.

Tom, I shoot a D90 but I've heard this version of the lens works fine on a D5100. Good luck!

This is a great lens. it will work on the D5100, but the Nikon 18-200 DX-VR is far more versatile on DX cameras, according to KenRockwell.com. This lens is ideal, used on FX (Full Frame) cameras. Very sharp & light weight, however, it is all plastic, including the lens mount, and should be handled carefully, (do not pick up the camera by the lens). If you have an opportunity to purchase one, I would highly recommend it.

I have personnaly used it on my D7100 and D7000, and worked perfectly on those. The d5100 is also a DX camera, so you shouldn't have any issues
