Message: <blockquote data-quote="Horoscope Fish" data-source="post: 151522" data-attributes="member: 13090">That lens has no internal focus motor, so no... It will not auto-focus on the D5000.Edit: To clarify, the non-HSM variant will not auto-focus on the D5000. You need to have a focus motor somewhere, obviously, to use auto-focus and since the D5000 does not have one in the body the lens must have one in order to use the auto-focus feature. I was referring to the lens in the link with my original comment because THAT lens has no internal focus motor. The Sigma 17-70 DC MACRO HSM, on the other hand, does have an internal auto-focus motor.</blockquote>
