Q: Will this lens work with the NIKON D3500? Will it auto focus?

A: The Nikon AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D lens will work with your Nikon D3500 DX-format DSLR but will need to be manually focused, as this camera model doesn't have a built-in focus motor. For lenses that will autofocus with the D3500 camera, look into AF-P AF-S and newer E-type lenses.

Q: Will my Nikon d5600 be compatible with this lens?

A: The AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D Lens (Product 2137) will not autofocus on the D5600 but is otherwise compatible. For a comparable lens that will autofocus on the D5600 consider the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Lens (Product 2199).

Q: Is this lens compatible with the Nikon D3200 ?

A: The AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D Lens will not autofocus on the D3200 but is otherwise compatible. For autofocus capability on the D3200 consider the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Standard Lens (Nikon Product # 2199).

Q: will this lens work on a D3100

A: I have used this lens on a 3100, and though it does technically work, it does NOT autofocus. Doing some research I found that it's because it lacks the "Silentwave motor" as designated on lenses that say AF-S in the name, such as the 35mm f/1.8 Lens. (I read this on Nikon's website under tech specifications for this camera: "AF-S Lens Required for Autofocus") This is probably too late for the original poster but I hope this helps someone else. P.S. a new 50mm AF-S lens is about to be released from Nikon as of June 16 (according to one website)

Q: will this work with my D7100?

A: Yes, the AF 50mm f/1.8D will work with the Nikon D7100 as the camera body has a built-in focus motor which allows for full auto-focus capabilities with either AF-S or AF lenses.

Q: does this lens work with d3300

A: The NIKKOR 50mm 1.8D lens is compatible with the D3300 but it will only focus manually. For lenses that autofocus on the D3300 look for NIKKOR lenses with the AF-S designation. AF-S indicates that the lens is equipped with Nikon's Silent Wave Autofocus Motor.

Q: Is this lens compatible with D300s camera?

A: Yes it is. The lens will work on any body that has a focusing driver. There is no focus motor in the lens, which saves on weight and cost. It can only be used on the D7000, D300, D300s, and all of the FX bodies like the D3 and D3x.
