p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Question on Sigma lens for Nikon


Hello.

Knew this was the best place to get an answer.

I received a Sigma 105mm 1:2.8 D EX macro for Nikon in an estate sale. Will this lens be fully functional on a Nikon D5300. It was previously used on a 35mm N80.

I appreciate the help!!!

David

Sounds like a screw-driven AF lens ... in that case, the answer is no.

I don't think so, unless it is the newest version, i.e., this one:

The older versions were screw drive, I believe, and the D5300 doesn't support screw drive lenses.

Most macro afficianados don't use AF. The autofocus usually focuses where you don't want the focus. I have the older 105 and it is bitingly sharp. Enjoy the macro shots you get with it. It's also a great short tele lens.
