Can this be use with a Nikon D3200 ? I'm looking for good lenses for large group portraits indoors (perhaps outdoors)

If the d3200 has a drive screw. the Sigma 24-70 is a great lens, but has no own motor drive. Check your camera manual or a camera review if the 3200 does....

The Sigma 24-70 will work with full frame and crop frame cameras. You have to buy the Nikon mount version. I found the lens soft wide open. A better lens for about the same money is the sigma 17-70 OS. Sharper wide open, and the anti shake works helps in low light. My 24-70 was not sharp until 5.6, the newer sigma HSM is much better but spendy

This is a dedicated macro lens, but can certainly be used for indoor portraits with sufficient lighting. I have used it as a telephoto lens with excellent results since it's considered a 'prime' lens and is tack sharp. Tripod not necessary if your exposure is correct for shooting at a minimum shutter speed of 1/40.

Yes, this lens is top of the line. Beautiful results. Keep in mind its 85mm its not a long lens but its not short, a 50mm is perfect indoors. I use my 85 for tight portraits. here's my image taken with my 85mm 1.2 http://500px.com/photo/27766557.

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."

Shooting groups of people with an ultrawide works well, but people on the extreme edges of the frame will appear stretched out. It's also not the fastest lens, especially at the longer focal length, so you will most likely need a flash if you're planning on shooting indoors. It's a fun lens, but you may be better off using a faster wide/normal lens, such as the 17-55mm 2.8, or the sigma 18-35mm 1.8.

Yes, it will work well with your D200. The downside to the lens is its weight, it's a very heavy lens, best used with a tripod. With such a wide range, it's tempting to use it as an everyday lens, but the weight limits its usefulness

The Sigma 17-50mm is an all-purpose fast lens, great for portrait to get good DOF, and fast enough for HS indoor sports. I would recommend setting you ISO to 1600 or higher on your Nikon. The quality of glass is excellent for the resolution of 16x24 prints. I am very impressed with the quality of workmanship and lens quality.

This is not a lens, but a lens accessory. I use a Nikkor lens that this attached to and worked relatively well. I am not sure which lens you have, but I believe it will work for you if you have a kit lens that came with the d3200 body.

Yes, I have used this lens for all of those purposes and it performs well. Although you might want the faster f2.8 lens if the indoor performances don't have adequate lighting. I have not regretted buying this lens at all.

This lens would NOT be good for a group picture - unless you were standing 50 yards away. It is designed as a portrait lens on a full frame sensor which means its really an 120mm lens on your cropped sensor. Group photos of t he kind you mention are more effectively shot with a lens in the 20-24mm range. That said, this is a GREAT lens, amazingly sharp. But no groups.

I'll be honest and say I don't know. It's a beautiful lens but I would suggest that if you leave close to a large photo store go in and see if they will let you play around with one. Sorry that I can't be more helpful.

You can use this lens on your D3200 but only in the M(manual) mode. As this is a classic manual focus lens, it will not auto focus on any camera; including yours. Hope this helps. Thank you for shopping our store. We appreicate your business. Blue Penn Cameras

I have found that this lens fits the d3100 as well as the d3200. For more info on the specs see this link...http://snapsort.com/compare/Nikon-D3200-vs-Nikon_D3100/specsAs a matter of fact there is very little difference between the two besides price and a few small features that a more versed photographer might find critical but otherwise this lens should work for you.

This lens is perfect for outdoor but for low light indoor will not be good. I bought me a 70-200 f2.8 lens that will work with the right settings.

I purchased this lens specifically for group shots. The wide angle allows you to fit everyone comfortably in the frame. You definitely have to change the aperture to ensure everyone is in focus. I probably stand around 15-20ft away from the group and use an f/stop of 4 or 5.. Possibly higher depending on the situation. You can always test different settings to see what works best at the time. Awesome lens! Bring great depth to your images

Yes it will work on a D3100, has fast internal auto focus, and is great for large groups.

The 10-24mm Nikon lens will work on ANY Nikon DX format DSLR. Your D3200 is a DX format DSLR so it will work fine.
