Does a Tamron lens for Nikon fit any Nikon DSLR camera?
I have a D5100 and want to order a Tamron AF XR Di IILD through Ebay. I need to be sure it will fit!
All Nikkor or Nikkor F-mount compliant lenses will fit, just not the original pre-AI manual lenses (circa 1979). Only the AF-S compliant lenses will meter with your entry level D5100.
You will have to check and see if the Tamron lens has a auto-focus motor in it. If it does, it will work with your D5100
If it is this lens

It will fit if it has the Nikon mount. If it has the Nikon mount, it has the built in focus motor. BTW, I love my Tamron 18-270mm PZD on my Nikon D90.
