Does this lens autofocus on DX Nikon DSLRs, or does it require manual focus?

autofocus works fine except when you are really zoomed in all the way ... sometimes it struggles with fast moving objects.

I use this lens with a Sony Alpha A77 camera, but I have a good friend that uses this lens with a Nikon DX and the autofocus works fine.

I have had one for about a year. I use it on Autofocus and hand held.I have been pleased with the quality of pictures I have gotten.RZ

It auto focuses with a flathead screwdriver on the camera body that engages a slot on the lens and a motor in the camera controls focusing. You lock the aperture ring at its minimum aperture (f/22) to hand over focusing to the camera . This lens will be a manual focus control only on the D3000 and D5000 series. Some DX cameras have screw drives such as the D80,D90, D7000,D7100,D300. All FX cameras have a screw drive.

I bought the Rokinon HD8M-N 8mm f/3.5 HD Fisheye Lens with Auto Aperture Chip for Nikon DSLR. On my Nikon D5100 and D40 this lens works automatically (auto, P, S and A modes) for everything EXCEPT focus. This lens without the chip is less expensive than the same lens with Auto Aperture Chip. I was happy paying the difference to get the lens with the chip; without the chip it's a manual lens (although on some cameras you may be able to set the aperture on the lens and use the Camera in Automatically in Aperture Preferred mode)YMMV

You can buy a lens that is not DX and many will work fine. This one above will not auto focus. The Nikon AF and AF-D will not work on a camera that does not have an internal focus motor, like the D3100. The later lenses, AF-S, will work and auto focus. If the lens is an FX you will not get an image that is as wide and tall as what you see in the finder on a DX camera. You will get a good sharp image but you must compose more carefully to avoid the DX sensor cropping out vital parts of the image the FX lens can see.

Will it work? Yes. It's a G lens, so it'll auto-focus (unlike a D lens). According to the Nikon USA website, the crop factor for all DX cameras is not 1.4, but 1.5. This lens will be the 35mm equivalent on any DX sensor of 127.5mm. Happy shooting.

Hi, thanks question.This lens can not work autofocus for D3200. Thanks in advance.

D80 has the autofocus motor in the camera body, d5100 does not. This means lenses without a built in autofocus motor will work in manual focus mode only.

yes. you will need to lock the aperture ring at f/22 to enable autofocus. on DX it will be a 43-112mm equivalent lens, making it great for portraits. however, you will still need to cover the wide end, making it less than ideal as a walkaround lens. for the wide end, i would recommend getting the tokina 12/24/4

Yes. This lens should auto focus on any Nikon Digital SLR. The issue for you is the focal length. A D5200 has an APS-C sensor and the 14mm lens is designed for full frame sensors. That means if you put this lens on a DX body (which is what the D5200 is) there will be a magnification factor of 1.5, so the 14m becomes a 21 mm lens. If you want to shoot ultra wide images with your DX body, take a look at the Nikon 10.5mm DX lens or the Nikon 10-24mm DX zoom lens. They are a lot more affordable and you'll get a lot closer to the wide angle view afforded by this 14mm (when its mounted on a full frame sensor body) than if you mount the 14mm on the D5200.

Yes! But, manual focus only because this lens requires an AF motor in the body but the d5100 does not have one.

No, this is a manual lens and I bought it knowing that, I have a D3100, too. My recent experience with autofocus 300mm lenses is their focus is spotty and they don't hold up well or for long. I think it has something to do with the size and weight of the lens, but that is my opinion. I decided it was better to go back to a two ring manual focus lens because they are reliable.

Most Nikon lenses will work on D3200 even lenses from film cameras. They won't have auto focus though.

Unfortunately, there are a few incorrect answers here. the "D" lenses as in f/1.8D that the asker is asking about does not have a focus motor in the lens as an af-s lens would. you can use the lens with this camera but there is no focus motor in this camera or that lens therefore there would be no autofocus only manual focus.

This lens is manual focus only. Keep in mind, this is an inexpensive lens. A good lens for the money, but it isn't a "super duper" $15,000 - $20,000 Nikon or Cannon lens. I bought this lens for "playing" purposes.

Don't quite understand the question but I have the Pentax version of this lens and it can operate in manual or auto focus. Just flip a switch.

iam using this lens with a GX 1 camera. i just did a test and shot a video and focused manually after setting it to manual focus with a button on the camera.it worked.
