I just bought the Tokina 11-16mm for my Nikon D3100. It won't autofocus. Am I missing something?

Your Nikon D3100 is a good DSLR, but it does not have an internal motor. the lens you buy for it will need to be (AF). This lens does not have an internal motor either.

This lens doesn't have internal focus motor, nor your camera body, so you wont get autofocus with this lens version. You need the version DX II http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007ORX8ME/ref=cm_sw_su_dp

Had the same issue with a Nikon d5100, but after a few tries it was resolved. Check the following:1- for some reason, the lens didn't fit in with the camera, but after trying a couple of times it finally clicked into position2- there is a ring near the lens (the left part of the product picture) that must be slide out for the lens to autofocus. After you slide it you'll see the AF appear from under the ring, beore that there is only MF ( manual focus) visibleAfter these two the lens worked perfectlyHope it helps

Without knowing more, please check that the focus ring is pushed forward, towards the lens element, because if it is in the rearward position that is the manual focusing position.

I assume you've tried auto focus at different legnths. If unsuccessful you definitely need to return the lens. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

I have used this with my D90 and D40, both with no problem. Have you checked that the setting on the lens is AF, not MF? It is kind of tricky, but the rule of thumb is if you see both the AF and MF showing, then you are good. If you only see MF showing, then it is wrong. Also make sure the camera body's setting is on AF.

This lens doesn't have internal focus motor, nor your camera body, so you wont get autofocus with this lens version. You need the version DX II Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X116 Pro DX II Digital Zoom Lens (AF-S Motor) (for Nikon Cameras)

Hi, I am using the amazing Tokina 11-16 mm on my Nikon D80, the autofocus works fine, great lens.

These older Nikon lenses are optically ok and will fit you D3100 but they won't let you autofocus. Only Nikon AF-S and G-series lenses will autofocus on a D3100. These lenses can be used on any D-SLR which has a focus motor. The D3100 does NOT have the focus motor so your lense will not work. However you can try using it in Manual mode but I have never had much luck with this. I hope this helps.

Do you have your camera set to auto? The camera needs to be set to a manual setting. On my Nikon, I have an M (manual) setting next the the auto, landscape, etc... Double check which setting you have it on.You have to do some of the focusing on the telescope, too. The same way you would focus without the camera is how you would focus your camera. We had to look all of this up, too.

I have the Nikon DX AFS Nikkor 18-55 f3.5-5.6 G lens and autofocus works in some situations but not in others. If the initial focus is not too far from perfect focus, it will focus but rather reluctantly after much back & forth. Unfortunately, I do not have the exact lens you mention.

I have some nikon lenses from my nikon f3, i have some lenses from nikon d90, i have some sigma lenses they all work fine for me but ofcourse no autofocus you have to set nikon1 to manual in order to use all these lenses. For example 50mm 1:1.2 lens is doing a great job. I hope this info is enough if not i can write more. For$20 this is good product. No need to spent $200 just for auto focus for the autofocus lenses.

I have the gf3 and mine will say that if I have it on autofocus. Put the focus in manual and click away after getting the focus, shutter, iso etc how you want for your photo. Fun lil lens. Ive gotten some great shots with this.

I used this lens for one year until yesterday without any problems. Just yesterday I am experiencing the same issue: quite focus hunting when zoomed out at 70+ and when it stops it is not on focus! Any idea?

On my camera, I have to set the focal length and enable the exposure ring function when using this lens. Once complete, everything is automated but the focus.

I purchased this lens to use as a flexible architecture and portrait lens on my Nikon D90. The lens did not autofocus when on my DSLR, and I had to return it. This may have been due to a defect in the lens, however. I hate to encourage buying something just to see if it will work for, only to have to return it, but if you have no other way to confirm that the lens works on your D40 then you may have to do that. Best bet would be to contact Tamron directly to ask them.Good luck!

Yes, the Nikon has a.built in SWM autofocus motor and will work with any Nikon. The Tokina is a 'faster' aperture lens, meaning it can capture lower light levels, so it can shoot at a higher shutter speed but is limited in zoom range. The 10-24 vs 11-16 mm is 2.4x times vs 1.5 times respective of their zoom range. Also, the 10mm is a wider angle lens which is also a big factor, and typically cost more. You can refocus the Nikon without an issue, while the Tokina you must pull it into the manual focus mode before you can refocus. I have both the Nikon 10-24 and a Tokina 12-24, and the Nikon is a much nicer lens. Good luck on your decision. Yes, the Nikon has a.built in SWM autofocus motor and will work with any Nikon.

Hi, I have a Nikon d3100 and this thing was so hard to have it work. besides that you have to manually set the F number before you take the lens off to attach the tube. it was a hustle and had poor quality. I ended up getting one that was around 50 bucks,my advice? save up and get the one that can auto focus

It won't autofocus with the D5100. It only autofocuses on cameras that have an internal focus motor.

It's working fine with the autofocus mode on your lens, would also work with the manual focus but you would have to preset the focus on the lens.Michael

You have to make sure that the auto focus is compatible. For example if you have a lens that has no focus motor it would not work on this model camera.A Nikon/Nikkor lenses with AF-S and AF-I should be compatible with the auto focus of this camera. You can Google search "(camera model) compatible lenses" to find a link to Nikon or cannon chart of what is compatible with that camera.

I have these lens and I cannot use the autofocus, only manual. It won't focus no matter at what range. So disappointed..

Conflicting answers are due to different models of this lens. The Tokina 12-24mm f/4 AT-X 124 AF Pro DX II Lens will autofocus for you,it has a motor. The similar prior model does not. Have both lenses in our family.
