Does this work on a Nikon D5100 that does not have internal focus motor?

This lens does not have the S motor. Therefore, it will not AF with the D5100

This lens does auto focus if you have a camera with a built in auto focus motor. The lens itself does not have a built in motor so if you are trying to buy it for say a D5100 it will only work manually.

Yes, but will not auto focus, just manual focus. Note that the D5100 has manual focusing aid called Rangefinder. Rangefinder is described in the D5100 Reference Manual.

The Amazon page is telling me that it won't work with my D5200. But since it has an internal focus motor, it should. I wonder if Amazon screwed up on this.

I have a D5100 and it works just fine. The little flash sync trigger slides into the hot shoe and there you go ready to shoot.

I do not know for sure, but I suspect not. The lens does not have an internal focus motor of its own, and I believe that the D5200 requires lenses that have their own focus drive motor. The camera's instruction manual usually has a section at the back of the book on compatible equipment, and that probably states whether or not the camera has a focus drive motor or not. Many of the new Nikon, less expensive cameras do not have such a motor. Most of the new lenses have motors that Nikon refers to as silent drive motors.

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.

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.

I have a Nikon D5100 and I bought this lens for my camera. The lens works perfectly with my D5100. The D5100 has auto-focus capabilities, and because this lens as the "VR" designation, it too is an auto-focus attachment! It's been a great addition to my set-up!

I don't think so. I think you'd need a body with af motor in it, and I don't think the D5100 has one. It would work, and take sharp pictures, but you'd have to focus manually.

Yes. I have a friend who has a D5100 and it works fine with his. It's made for crop bodies like the D5000. Set the aperture to f8 and the focus just short of the infinity mark and everything in your viewfinder will be in focus.

^ Yes, same as the D60 and any other recent Nikon camera that does not have a built-in focus motor (D5000, D3000, D3100, D5100, etc..)

I use it on the D5100 with good results. Should work on any camera with a pop up flash and accessory shoe.

The Nikon D5100 doesn't have a focus motor (screw type), so it requires AF-S lenses to focus. This lens doesn't have AF-S, but the following one does: http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-70-300mm-Motorized-Telephoto-Cameras/dp/B0012X61U2/

Yes, this version DOES have a built in focus motor. Older versions of this lens do not. This is fully functional with the D5100.

I have a Nikon D5100. The lens has the focusing motor incorporated into the lens. I believe Pentax has focusing motor in the camera body.
