Will auto focus work on the Nikon D3100?
1427426
No, this is a manual lens and I bought it knowing that, I have a D3100, too. My recent experience with autofocus 300mm lenses is their focus is spotty and they don't hold up well or for long. I think it has something to do with the size and weight of the lens, but that is my opinion. I decided it was better to go back to a two ring manual focus lens because they are reliable.

This lens won't autofocus with a D3100, it requires an internal focusing motor D90/D7000. It will still operate on the D3100 just as a manual focus lens. No it doesn't have VR.

Yup, if you're comfortable using manual focus this will work with your D3100. With that said, I'd probably put my money towards the 35mm 1.8 (Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras). It's more expensive and can be a little hard to get your hands on, but it will auto focus with the D3100. However, if you want a great lens to shoot static images (product shots, nature shots, even portraits) you really can't go wrong for the price. If you plan on taking candid pics of your kids or other non-posed pics, expect to loose some nice shots while you're trying to manually focus.

I use it on the Nikon D5200 and if you get the model for Nikon it will auto focus.

No it will not work with d3100. Type in Nikon d3100 remote trigger in amazon & you will receive a bunch of choices. I mainly use wireless aperture 2.4 for my Nikon d7000 and d700. I have been using it for 6 months now from wedding, portraiture, commercial photography & has not fail me.

It won't autofocus with the D5100. It only autofocuses on cameras that have an internal focus motor.

I don't think the autofocus will work on the d3300, but I never use autofocus with macro so it doesn't matter if that is what you want to use it for.

I have the D3200 and it works with it. Can't say about the D3100, but I would think it will.

I do not know about the compatability with the Nikon D3100 but yes the focus is automatic with a motor located in the lens

Hi, I have a Nikon d3100 and this thing was so hard to have it work. besides that you have to manually set the F number before you take the lens off to attach the tube. it was a hustle and had poor quality. I ended up getting one that was around 50 bucks,my advice? save up and get the one that can auto focus

D5100, D5000, D3200, D3100, D3000, D60, D40X, D40 all require the same lens type compatible with auto focusing and have the same contact pins for camera communication. They all use AF lenses. So yes it will work.

Here is a chart showing what can be used with the D3100:http://www.nikonians.org/nikon/slr-lens.htmlBasically, you can buy this lens, but you'll need to manually focus. One lense close to the 50mm above, is the 35mm:Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens for Nikon Digital SLR CamerasThis one will autofocus with the D3100. Hope this helps.

It will not autofocus on the 3100, but it will meter fine. AF-D lense do have a CPU. What they lack is a built-in focuing motor.
