[QUOTE="robbins.photo, post: 598090, member: 27043"] Ok, the D5300 is often referred to as a "baby" nikon, meaning that it is one of the entry level models that doesn't have a focus motor built into the body. Older Nikon lenses do not all have focus motors built into the lens. As a result these lenses rely on the camera having a focus motor built into the body to be able to focus. If the lens doesn't have that motor built in, then it won't be able to autofocus on a D5300. Nikon refers to it's current generation lenses as G series, these have the built in focus motors. You'll also usually see the designation AF-S. For Sigma they call it HSM, Tamron refers to it as BIM. So if your looking at Nikon lenses, the 70-300mm G or the 70-300mm G VR will both work fine with your 5300. Other options include the Tamron 70-300mm VR, which also has a built in focus motor.
