[QUOTE="RobV, post: 499876, member: 40570"] I am happy with the purchase, but Ken Rockwell says this should auto focus on my D5200, yes? I have not been able to get it to auto focus, and I have the switch in the locked-ring position. But I am VERY glad to finally have that "lenses with aperture rings on DX cameras" figured out (once I had one in my hands!). I thought with the aperture locked down at 32, it could not open. (duh) I am real happy to have a lens that has a lock ring on the focus! Until last week, I was unaware that lenses could focus beyond infinity. With that in mind, I can get a good sharp focus on the moon, and lock it in place! Other than the deviation between apogee and perigee, I should be set! ;) Here it is on my camera: [ATTACH=CONFIG]183180._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
