The info you have on a lot of the lenses is incorrect. Very, very disappointing. The above lens, is a dedicated DX lens. It's almost useless on an FX sensor. This website is proving itself to be very badly informed.

I believe the info states that the D 5100 will not autofocus--there is no focus motor on that camera, however,
manual focus is possible.

This lens does focus on the D 5100! The info you have up is wrong.
