My d5200 says "lens not attached"! Which steps should I follow? Thanks.

I have a d5100, but was getting the same message. You MUST use the manual (M) mode on your Nikon in order to use any other lens adapters. Because of the electronics involved between genuine Nikon lenses and the Nikon body, you do NOT get these electronic signals with any other brand of lens or lens adapter. Thus - manual mode. See previous answer.

i finally sent it to the nikon repair center (look on their main website for information) along with a photocopy of my warranty card and they fixed it and returned it. i hope yours is still on warranty! otherwise i have no idea how much it would cost to fix it. i've lost the "fun" momentum anyway and no longer even enjoy it. a hundred dollars down the drain. good luck with yours.

Did you try cleaning the lens. Try a Q-Tip and some alcohol. See it that works.

J Gibson:I dropped my old 50mm 1.8D and this is the message I got after that, I had to replace it. It might be a defective or broken lens. I would suggest trying it on another Nikon AF camera and if it still doesn't work hopefully you can return it or have it replaced under warranty.

You don't mention which Sigma lens you have, but I have a sigma lens that fits my D5200, but make sure that the lens itself has automatic focus as the D5200 doesn't have automatic focus.

If it's any consolation, I didn't end up pulling out the lens cover pieces - I just put the camera away in a drawer and forgot about it. About 3 months later I took it out again, charged up the battery and it hasn't missed a beat since! The lens works perfectly. So, maybe it just needs a rest, a kick around in the bottom of a drawer or a good thump...

This looks like just the body - which would mean that you would have to have a lens to attach. My body had a bunch of problems but my lens were fine so I got the same body as the one I had before (didn't want to learn a "new and improved" body). Hope that helps. I love this camera and the refurbished body was great - not to mention saved a bunch of $$$

With adapters, one must be sure the camera is set to "Release without lens". This is found in the settings menu. If that does not work, I have no suggestions.

If you're referring to the Nikon D5300 support, Sigma released a firmware update in Nov/2013 to address that. If you have the Sigma USB Dock it's a simple update. Otherwise, I'm not sure how you'd ensure your copy of the lens has the new firmware.

I had the same problem and I found a fix on a different site, so I thought I'd put it up here, too. It seems the "access" message happens because the lens doesn't open all the way; not sure why that is. However, when my camera opens and says "access," all I have to do is get it all the way out. So: very VERY GENTLY pull on the end of the lens (away from the camera body). You can't even feel it move, really, but then it starts working again! Hope this helps.

This lens does NOT have a focus motor inside, and therefor will not work with the least expensive Nikon bodies.I'm unsure where the D5200 falls, but I would think that this body is an upgrade from the D5000 (which did not have a focus motor, and therefore did not work with this lens)Something to consider.........This is a macro lens, and most (if not all) macro work is done using manual focus. (which will work with your body)Ken Rockwell has a page about this lens here.>>>>http://www.kenrockwell.com/tokina/100mm-f28.htm

Hello Martin, Go to your menu and navigate to the number one page. You'll see "Release w/o Lens", change that to enable and you're set! Hope that helps!

Occasionally the camera tells me there's no lens attached. It could be related to your problem too.

Theres a ring that comes off. Its been a while since ive used mine but you may need to screw on ring to lens first then add the lens adapter. Or try with out the ring? Also it only fitd on my kit lens. Check thread size

This attaches to another lense. The camera itself doesn't make any difference. But you must have a 52mm lense to attach it too. The problem with it is thd auto focus can't seem to adapt to it. The only way I've found to use it is by focusing manually which is slow and aggravating

I used on my d5200. It did not function as i expected. Maybe because i am a new user and dont know how to properly adjust it. I will buy a nikon just for sure to replace that one.

Mine are same problem on my Nikon D5300, they won't lock and the camera reports no lens attached. Wish I hadn't waited 2 months to try them....
