I have a new nikon d5100 with the 18-55mm kit; also included a VR. Nikon said that I need an AF-S DX VR. Is this Sigma 70-300mm fits on my D5100 with the full capacity

This lens does not have indicate that it has a focusing motor in it. If it does not, it will not work with autofocus on your D5100. There is at least one motorized version of this lens on Amazon for the same price.

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/

You you will get full exposure control with your D5100; but you'll have to manually focus (see other responses for the auto focus model of this lens). It's a bit soft at 300mm, but tack sharp on the wide end.

See http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/80400vr.htm and http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/80-400mm.htm They describe respectively the older one which won't autofocus on your d5100 and the new, more expensive one, which will --- diff abt 1k

The AF works really well on the D5100 my friend. The site you saw that information on has no idea what they are talking about. The image quality of the photos are great too. Kirt

I have a Nikon P510 and it fits perfectly. I've had it for 3 months, traveled thousands of miles and taken as many pictures. It not only fits, but it stays securely on the camera. I really don't even know it's there. Great product!

It works fine with VR 55-200 and should work with any Nikon lens. I guess it should work better for 70-300 as compared to 55-200. I could not get good results with 18-55 lens though.

Assuming that the D5100 has a Nikon F mount, then it should. I use it on my D7000. Be warned that the lens weighs 4.33 lbs. With the ISO pushed way up and the OS on, it is possible to hand-hold this lens, but a tripod, or other support will definitely improve your results.

No, That lens requires a motor in the body to AF, so it won't AF with a D5100.

I can't address if the eyepiece will fit the D5100 check the Nikon compatibility chart. I have found it of value in macro work for that extra edge in sharpness. Many factors come into play ie. age of your eyes, use of mirror-up-option and quality of lens.

I am not sure about the d5100 but I have used it on other nikons. I shoot canon and I am pretty sure this come made for Nikon, I would search for those to be safe.

It does say that the D5100 would fit based on the description, but my guess is that it would fit only with the lens removed if you want to use the compartment separator. You could take the separator out and utilize the whole compartment without having to remove your lens. But you wouldn't be left with any room for a spare lens. That would be your preference. Hope that helps! Btw, I still love the bag, very useful and great quality.

Hello Jay. I bought the hoodman glasses model for the D7000 and the D700. They are a constant on my cameras since I started using them; never never without them. Easy and comfortable for me as a glasses wearer. I have never own or shot the D5100, although I understand it is a very nice camera. Compare specs for certain perhaps call nikon customer service. Best wishes

The D90 can use both the older AF and the newer AF-S (silent wave)lenses. The D5100 can only use the AF-S(motor in the lens) lenses. It has no AF motor in the body. I believe you would have to move up to the D7100 to be able to use both types. The AF type will physically fit the D5100, they just will not autofocus.

I use a NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR which is a little bigger than your 18-105 and it fits comfortably with room to spare. With the lens hood however, it is a squeeze. I suggest that you remove the hood and put it in separately.

I just received my tamron 150-600mm, it works great on my D5000. It should work on D5100. No doubt

I had the Nikon for 4 months now and I like it. It is pretty sharp, not too heavy and works great. The VR works well too, it makes a difference. Here is a link to some photos with a D7000 which has a similar sensor to the D5100. http://www.pixoto.com/ralhaj/recent hope this helps

not a Nikon user but it will definitely fit your d5100 with battery grip attached if you have one. I could fit two dslr bodies and two lenses depending on size with no issues. you should be fine and will not be disappointed with this purchase. the access is from the back, which means you will have to remove the back pack to gain access to your gear, excellent for walking crowded streets. holds a medium sized tripod very well!enjoy
