does this only manual focus or will it auto focus on some nikon models?

This lens is only manual focus. No Auto anything - think of it as a lens on the end of a slinky.

It works only on manual focus, it has a standard and fixed 5.6 aperture. On specific Nikon models, I tested it on D7100, it works in Aperture Priority Auto mode (switch the main command dial on "A") so the camera will choose for you the best shutter speed for better exposition.

It will only work if your camera is on manual mode. There is no communication between the lens and the camera, how it is with most other lenses.

you use the manual focus and then use the lensbaby for the desired effect! cool!

It is a manual focus that is done by pressing on the outside ridge of the lens itself. Once you get your area of focus, you can adjust the"look" by pressing the lens to one side or the other.

Yes, and you WILL HAVE auto-focus. Nikon makes two kinds of auto-focus, one with the motor in the lense and one with the motor in the camera. This lense has no motor but you have the AF motor in the camera so all's good. Good Luck and ENJOY!

Sorry - but don't really understand your question. While it's made for full-frame cameras it still auto-focuses without having to set anything on all new Nikons.

If I'm seeing this lens correctly, it is not an AF-S lens, therefore it will not autofocus on a d3200... To quote Nikon: "Only AF-S lenses will work, AF lenses would require manual focusing. The lenses recommended are AF-S and fully compatible with your Nikon D3200 DSLR."

On your camera you must adjust the aperture ring all the way to f/22 , if not it will not auto focus .My lens works well with Nikon 5000, D90 on both manual and auto focus . Remember the aperture ring must click to the f/22 spot on the aperture ring . Good luck Michael lomax .

I have a d3200 it works fine. Autofocus a little slower than Nikkor lenses. I mostly manual focus as well.

I believe that the lens has the focus motor drive in the lens. I think that it is the necessary feature for a lens work on all of Nikon's DSLR's. I don't own a Nikon so I can not answer any further about lens / body compatibility in the Nikon world. It works perfectly on my Canons.

Yes , both auto focus and manual, but, I've not been happy with the manual focus.The auto focus works great on my Nikon D90.

It will not autofocus. If you purchase this lens you will have to manually focus all of your shots

jESSICA, I got an article from Nikonians that affirm it performs auto focus with D--3100/5100/5000/3000/60 and 40. Don't take my word on this and research a bit more, maybe call Sigma and ask them directly. I hope I helped you in some way.

It only manually focused on my d600. Not sure if I bought a bad copy or what. I returned it and purchased the 16-35mm. Good Luck!

Yes, it will. My son has been experimenting with it on a D-80. It won't however, auto focus, that is a manual operation.

Yes, it does focus on the D5300. I use it on a D5100, a D7100 and an old D40x. It will auto focus on all Nikon DLSR cameras and is my best lens of the 7 that I have.

James, I use this on a Nikon D4, D800 and D300 and use back button focusing on all bodies (the shutter release is disabled for focusing which is the equivalent of manual focusing for the purposes of this conversation) and it works great! I really like this remote.

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.

Hello. It will NOT auto-focus on a Nikon D3000, only manual focus will work. Since this is a tele lens, I won't recomend to use it on a dx camera. Because it will be difficult to see if you nailed focus just by looking through the viewfinder. I have a Nikon d600, and since my camera does have a focusing motor, autofocus does work on my camera. It is not a heavy lens. I use it as my emergency replacement lens, while my main lens is a Sigma 70-200 f/2.8.

Hi, This lens as you says the D3000, D5000, D7000 in the series of camera does not work for the auto focus. And you can manual shooting. Thanks in advance.
