[QUOTE="Felisek, post: 440982, member: 23887"] Both lens and your camera lack autofocus motor. This lens will not autofocus on D5200. You can only focus it manually. Edit: Here is more explanation. There are two lines of Nikon autofocus lenses, AF and AF-S. AF lenses don't have the autofocus motor and use mechanical coupling between the lens and the camera body. They require a camera with a built-in motor to drive the autofocus mechanism. Not all Nikon bodies have the motor inside them. Your D5200 doesn't. You would need a D7x00 camera to autofocus this lens. AF-S lenses have the autofocus motor built inside them and they can autofocus on D5200. [/QUOTE]
