Infinity. I prefer the 24-70 f2.8 Ed II For all around use.You have the same 24mm but you will have a better Portrait lens and more power with the 70mm.But if you want power a 70-200 or 70-300 lens. The lens in a F3.5 is priced for starters. But later on you will Buy the 70-200 f2.8 Ed II. You will not regret buying this lens..I shoot this all the time on my D3 and a 24-70m F2.8 on the other Nikon D3.. My Next Trip in August is Alaska 7 day Trip....I need Gris Pics

Focus distance of 1 foot to infinity is ideal for landscape, snapshot, candid, environmental, close-up and full length portrait photography.

Question

Is this compatible with D300s

The lens seems to focus okay in the viewfinder, but the pictures come out dark around the edges and are not crisp.

Question

Will this lens be compatible with Nikon D5100 DSLR?

From what i have gathered i believe it will be compatible however, the auto focus might not work, so one will have to manually focus it. However, is this because the lens itself doesn't provide auto focus or is it due to the incompatibility of the lens and camera?

answer 2

Nikon offers two types of autofocus digital camera bodies: those with a built-in focus drive motor and those which require a lens to have a motor. Cameras such as the D5100 do not have a focus motor in it so they require the lens to have the focusing motor – an “AF-S” lens. While these bodies can use a lens with no focus motor (an “AF” lens) you would have to manually turn the focus ring to bring the subject in to sharp focus.
