The following list of Nikon compatible lenses with integrated autofocus-motor includes F-Mount lenses which fully autofocus on Nikon F single-lens reflex cameras with lack of an autofocus motor. Today these are the Nikon D40, D40X, D60, D3000 and D5000 models. All Nikon Nikkor-lenses designated with AF-S (introduced 1998) 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.

Teleconverters need a fast lens for fast, reliable autofocus. Depending on brightness, contrast and needed autofocus-speed, one should have a minimum total aperture between f/11 and f/5.6. A total aperture of f/8 corresponds to a lens aperture of f/5.6, f/4 and f/2.8 with a 1.4x, 2x and 3x teleconverter, respectively. Sometimes teleconverters do not convert aperture and focal length data included in the EXIF information, even if the actual focus and exposure still will be correct. Not every teleconverter will support autofocus with every lens.[3][4] Teleconverters are often recommended only for lenses with minimum telephoto focal length or equivalent zoom range. All listed teleconverters support lenses with optical image stabilization (Nikon VR).

On April 28, 2010 the list is supposed to be complete, including 138 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.

Nikon NIKKOR AF-S DX 18-105mm f3.5-5.6G ED VR lens for Nikon F-mount.

Lens nomenclature

  • Nikon AF-S/Sigma HSM/Tamron USD: The lens contains an integrated ultrasonic focus motor, which enables fast and 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.
  • Nikon DX/Sigma DC/Tamron Di-II/Tokina DX: Denotes a lens that is designed for APS-C (or "cropped") 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: A lens for fullframe-sensors (FX) or analog film. No special designation for Nikon NIKKOR.
  • 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.
  • 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.
