The following list of Nikon F-mount lenses with integrated autofocus motors includes F-Mount lenses which fully autofocus on Nikon F single-lens reflex cameras without an autofocus motor. Today these are the Nikon D40, D40X, D60, D3000, D3100, D5000, and D5100 models and the Nikon 1 series with FT1 adapter. All Nikon Nikkor-lenses designated with AF-S (introduced 1996) and the older AF-I (introduced 1992) fully autofocus on these cameras.^[1] Other manufacturers have different or no designations for lenses including a focus-motor. AF Lenses without an autofocus motor do work fully, but lack autofocus-function on these cameras. Instead an electronic rangefinder can be used to find focus.^[2] Listed here are nearly all recent autofocus-lenses, because all manufacturers except Tokina have included focus motors in their Nikon-compatible lenses for years.

On January 7, 2012 the list is supposed to be complete, including 147 past and present lenses with 24 compatible teleconverters as well as 3 lens extension tubes with support for integrated autofocus-motors. The lenses are ordered by manufacturer and minimum and maximum focal length.

[edit] Lens nomenclature

The sequence of lens designations may differ in literature.

Nikon AF-S/Sigma HSM/Tamron USD: The lens contains an integrated ultrasonic focus motor, which enables quiet autofocus operation. All Nikon zoom AF-lenses have focal length encoders added.
Nikon AF-I: The lens contains an integrated focus motor. This type was produced from 1992 to 1996 and is rarely seen. No designation for Sigma/Tamron/Tokina.
Nikon DX/Sigma DC/Tamron Di-II/Tokina DX: Denotes a lens that is designed for APS-C DSLR sensors. Use of this lens on a full-frame (FX) sensor will likely cause vignetting. All full-frame Nikon DSLRs are able to detect DX lenses and crop the image accordingly.
Sigma DG/Tamron Di/Tokina FX: A lens for fullframe DSLRs (FX) or analog film. No special designation for Nikon NIKKOR. All fullframe lenses can be fully used on DX DSLRs with the advantage of reduced vignetting.
Nikon VR/Sigma OS/Tamron VC: Optical image stabilization, also called Vibration Reduction, indicated green background, a system used to compensate for vibration and other camera movement.
Nikon D: The lens is fitted with a digital sensor that tells the camera the distance at which it is focused, to allow for better exposure calculation. These lenses are compatible with Nikon DSLR bodies without built-in autofocus motors, but must be focused manually on these bodies. Metering does work, however.^[1]
Nikon G: The lens is not fitted with an aperture ring, and is thus incompatible with some very old Nikon film SLR bodies.^[1] All G-type lenses are also D-type.
All IF: The lens utilises an internal focus mechanism, which does not extend or rotate the front optical element.
Nikon ED/Sigma APO/Tamron (X)LD: Indicates that the lens is fitted with Extra-Low Dispersion glass, which aids in reducing chromatic aberration and flare.
^† : Lens is out of production and is not or extremely rarely available as new.

Nikon notes:

^ ^a ^b ^c ^d ^e ^f Will only mount original Nikon Nikkor AF-S and AF-I lenses (without modification). [1][2][3] Can not mount lenses which jut out the F-mount. Not recommended for use with Nikkor DX lenses although it works (with modification). [4] [5]
