Hi there! I see you were looking at the 100mm macro lens?
What questions do you have on this one?
Will this Lens work on the D5200 Nikon
Jess H.
Yes, it will, however it won't autofocus for you
so you'd be able to manual focus
Does that help?
I do always manually focus my macro shots, so it is a recommended way to use it :-)
Yes, thank you :-)
Jess H.
Great! You're welcome!
Do you have any other questions on it?
What would be a good lens for all around, indoor , out door pictures
for the D5200
Jess H.
Sure.
Do you prefer a zoom, or a fixed lens that would give you better low light capability?
zoom
Jess H.
Sure thing.
The 18-140mm is a really great one, very sharp on focus
and gives you a nice range of wide to long on the zoom
really versatile one
And this is fully compatible on your D5200
Thank you so much, i am going to look into it. :-):-):-)
Jess H.
Sounds good!
