Question 1

Will this lens work on a D5200? Thanks?

Accepted Answer

Ironically enough, this is a cheap lens that only works well with expensive cameras.  Nikon's more expensive line of cameras has an independent auto focus motor that moves the elements in lenses to focus them.  Cheaper cameras like the D5200 or D5300 do not have this motor, so they work only with the new AF-S style of lenses that has a built-in autofocus motor.  I ran into this problem when trying to shoot the moon with my Nikon D5300, and discovered the lens I was using would not autofocus, so I understand the issue first-hand. If you really want to use this lens, I believe the D7200 is the least expensive Nikon body to have the motor and be compatible with all lenses.

Question 2

Will this work on a kodak pixpro az528?

Accepted Answer

don't know about that we have a nikon click on it and it will tell you what if fits

Question 3

will this work with the new d7500? do I need special connector?

Accepted Answer

If you but the one that is for Nikon it comes with the adapter.  I used mine with my D7200 so there is no question it will definitely work with your D7500.  I felt the lens was a good value for the money but realize that it is heavy and awkward to use without a tripod or at least  a monopod.  You will need to use the Non-CPU Lens Data menu in your D7500.  You will probably want to learn how to use it on manual for exposure and there is no autofocus but I was able to get decent shots of the moon and the occasional bird if it stayed still long enough.  I ended up eventually going for the Nikon 200–500mm zoom Nikkor for its superior sharpness and ease of use with autofocus and auto exposure and I gifted my Opteka to my grandson but the Nikkor is a lot more money and doesn’t have the 1300mm reach of the Opteka when used with the included 2x teleconverter.  Good luck.

Question 4

Is there a reason why I have a circular halo in the center of the image when shooting?

Accepted Answer

Do you get the same with other lenses? If not check to make sure there is not some dust or something on the lens. If you are outside could be condensation. If none of these apply then your lens is defective and you may want to send it in for an exchange.
