Hello,

I would like to know if the AF-S NIKKOR 55-300 1:4.5-5.6G ED DX lens is compatible with a Nikon D5300 in terms of autofocus?

I have already tried to research online but to no avail..

Thank you in advance.

    Hello,

    This lens mounts on a Nikon F ring. It should be compatible since both the body and the lens support autofocus management.

    However, I would like to make a small comment: this telephoto lens has a variable aperture. It opens to 4.5 at 55mm focal length, but only to 5.6 at 300mm. It’s not a big deal, but you’ll need to be mindful of the lighting and ISO management if your camera body handles that automatically.

    Hello,

    To find out the compatibility between a Nikkor lens and a camera body, Nikon has published a table to solve the issue. Here it is:

    Thank you for this information. :)

    This lens does not have autofocus and I am looking for a lens that incorporates a motor for autofocus.

    I saw the AF-P 70-300mm with practically the same apertures.

    I hope this will yield something satisfying ????

      Your question was indeed about this lens?

      The description of the lens mentions the presence of a focus motor.

      You can also see an A/M switch on the lens, which refers to the Automatic/Manual mode. If in doubt, try to find visuals and see if you spot an A/M or AF/MF switch.

    I had a D5100 and my lens works very well on it because the body of the camera is equipped with a motorization process for focusing.

    After some research, I saw that my 55-300 lens does not have IF (internal focusing).

    I think the problem comes from there.
