Hey Hoggers. I am researching wide angle lenses for my 7200. What does 8-pin mean and will it work on my 7200?

The 8 pin interface includes the connections for an in-lens focusing motor (AF-S). The older 5-pin interface did not include these connections. They are saying that their lens requires the 8-pin connector on your camera.

You can take the lens off and count the gold buttons on the connector. I'm sure that there are 8 of them. Don't think I've ever seen a recent Nikon with only 5.

Many years ago, I bought a used Nikon 10-24 mm DX lens on eBay for my Nikon D7000. That was the best $500 I ever spent. I sold it several years later on eBay for the same. It more than paid for itself plus 10x more with the multiple contests that I won and pictures that I sold that had been taken with that lens and camera combo.

The lenses with an aperture ring uns the screw drive focus. Works with your 7200, just a bit slower than newer AF lenses.
