can i use focus peaking with this lens

If your camera supports peak focus as some mirrorless digital cameras offer. This is a manual focus lens and the quality of glass is poor at f/2 thru f/1.4; chromatic aberration. And this could effect peak focus cameras.

You are better off using live view. Why? At f/1.4 the depth of field is razor thin for portraits.

If your camera supports it, yes. Be aware though that at f1.4, the focal plane is rather tiny and even with peaking, perfect focus can be difficult.

This lens does not have internal motor for focusing, do your option is manual focus only

You might not be able to. When I received mine, it was blurry. I threw it away because of how frustrated I got with it. It never focused.

I've used it on the Nex 6 and focus peaking as well as release shutter without lens works just fine. Best bet is to use aperture priority mode.

Not well quite simply. The maximum lens aperture is not a small enough f/stop number, you will lose autofocus and unless shooting in very bright light on high contrast subjects even manual focusing may be difficult.

Yes, the peak focus is a in camera feature, it does not have to have the lens electrical contacts of a Af to work.

the lens does not allow you to fine focus manually in autofocus mode. you would have to set it to manual focus.

Yes, you won't have any autofocus or powered f-stop, this is for manual lenses only.

Yes you can, but it depends on the lens you're using. This camera has "Peaking Focus", which colours things that are in focus.

Yes, if you mean auto focus. It also has VR, or vibration reduction, which can give you a sharper image if camera is handheld. I am very satisfied with the overall performance of this lens.

Yes. NOTE: unlike most lenses I've used/seen it has no auto/manual focus switch on the lens-so if you want to use it in manual you have to use the switch on the body.

Neither the camera nor the lens have build-in autofocus. So you can use it but you will have to focus manually

This is strictly for macro. Focusing on anything that isn't at the closest focal point is impossible. It is also recommended that you use a lens with a shorter zoom level. This is basically incompatible with my 250mm. I can only imagine how much worse it is with a 400mm.

Yes by turning the focus ring on the lens. I got a deal on this camera. I love it it does so much for the price.

Yes - I believe so, though I've never used it. Mainly macro lenses are more expensive to produce to allow them to focus so close to the subject. This 35mm f/2.4 has become one of my favorite lenses for its sharpness - I often use it to shoot panoramas, although I have an old A-series 50mm f/1.7 and an ancient Takumar 135mm f/2.5 I also use for that. But for the price this 35mm has outstanding image quality.

Yes you should have no problem focusing this camera. You can adjust the dial for your vision. This is a great camera, you will love it.

You can use this lens on your camera but there are two things you should be aware of: 1. This is an old fashion manual focus lens. Many photographers prefer them because of the solid metal body construction as well as fine focus control. This lens won't auto focus on any camera, including the one you own. 2. Your camera can only get meter information through electronic auto focus lenses. You need a D200, D300, D700 or any of the professional series Nikon DSLR in order to get meter Information through these manual focus lenses. This is not really a big deal for an experienced photographer. It just means you either use an external meter or take some test shots to determine optimal settings. Hope this helps.
