What is the widest effective aperture for this lens on a Nikon D7100?
1372696
f4.0. The DX format does not affect the aperture, only the effective field of view and focal length. That lens on a DX is the equivalent of a 450mm on an FX format camera.

Dennis, It depends on what you deem effective. � I've shot mine wide open at f/4 but it may be a little soft in the corners for your liking, doesn't bug me. As long as you have plenty of light f/5.6 is pretty amazing with your subject at about 40-60 feet. f/8 is great as long as you have either the sun or if you don't mind pushing the ISO to keep you shutter speed above at least 1.5x the focal length. I find 1/500th-1/800th ish is plenty, and I don't have the hands of a surgeon by any means. Some of my sharpest images have come from this lens.On Full Frame I use it with the Tamron 1.4x TC to achieve the length you have already with the D7100 beinng DX.

I use a d3200. I think it should be comparable to d7100. I can use f4 and still get good focus depth. A nice thing with this lens is that it is about as sharp for all apertures. Many lenses drop in sharpness at wide apertures (even just under f8), but not so with this one. I wonderful lens, fantastic for portraits of those that behave more naturally when one keeps some distance (like my kids, and birds). I have not felt the need for VR.

I'm not familiar with the D7100, but I have a D90 that it works with. I think Nikon keeps these I/O port pretty much standard across their line of DSLRs

I know it fits a d7100 with the standard 55-200mm or 18-55mm kit lenses. With the d7100 body there was some room to give on the sides, but with the 55-200mm lens it was pushing it a little bit with trying to put the closing flap over the lens.

I'm using it with a Nikon D600 (same size as your D7100) and a LOOONG 70-200 f/4 along with a pretty bulky 24-70 f/2.8. I can't recommend the Billingham bags enough, they'll last you a lifetime!

I have a d7100 with the 70 to 300 lens and it fits well, both mounted on the body and off. I believe the d7100 is relatively similar to the d5200 so assume it would be fine. I can also fit two other lenses and extra batteries, filters, etc...a lens beyond 300 might be a bit tight. Good luck...

Sorry, don't know the answer to that, as I do not own D7100. You might reach out directly to the manufacturer.

I don't know how heavy your d7100 is, but I use it with my rebel with at heavy lens. The reviews for this has been very good and I was impressed. It feels sturdy.

Hi, thanks question. This lens can not work autofocus for Nikon D7100. Nikon D7100 can work autofocus for "AF-S" model . Thanks in advance.

Yes, it works fine with the d7100, and I have taken very sharp pictures with this lens. Just get the Nikon mount.

The Nikon compatible version of this lens will work fine on the D7100. Keep in mind however that the D7100 is an excellent camera that will not achieve it's full image potential with this lens as it is a lower end lens and is optically "so-so". The D7100 is a great camera that can produce great photos with the use of great lenses. By the way, I own this lens and it did a good job on my D200, especially the macro function which is hard to beat with any other lens. Otherwise for awesome normal telephoto duty skip this one and go with the Nikon 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6G AF-S VR Telephoto Zoom Nikkor lens. It's great for this camera.

I just put this lens on my D7100 and it meters properly. When in Manual or Aperture Priority mode, I can adjust the aperture using the front wheel on the camera. The D7100 is essentially the same camera as the D7000, so it should work just fine. Just be sure to spend the extra $30 to get the Nikon communication chip. This is a well-made, sharp lens at a bargain price. Manual focus is a little tricky wide open, but I think this is normal for a fast, manual focus lens.

Yes! I used this on my d5100 as my go to lens and now I use it for my d7100 - it's a great move

This lens is not compatible with the D7100. If forced, it could cause some serious damage to your camera.We suggest you get the 50mm f/1.4 AI or AIS lens.Hope this helps. Thank you for shopping our store. We appreicate your business. Blue Penn Cameras

I have the D7000. I find that the lens works very well but you do have the "crop" situation since it's not a DX specific lens. I guess it gives you an effective focal length of about 85mm. It is a very good lens. I used it for general photography at a party recently on my D750. Got some great pictures.

Yes it should work just fine. I have the D7000 and it is the same form factor as the D7100. I primarily use the 16-85 VR zoom lens and it fits quite nicely. I have also used the 12-24 zoom lens and it works as well with this case.

I am using the D7100. With the tokina 100 pro auto focus works well. I recall when researching the lens that the auto focus works with D7000 also. It has proven to be an impressive lens.

Yes it works with the D7100, but as a full frame lens it is more than is needed for the DX D7100.
