I have a Nikon D7100 and want to use the Nikon AF-P DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G lens. Is this lens compatible with the D7100, and are there any limitations or firmware requirements? Also, where can I look for sample images from this camera-and-lens combination?

You can find which lenses are compatible with your Nikon camera on the Nikon Lens page: Nikon D7100

Finding images made with a particular lens can be challenging. I suggest you look at Flickr, on their Camera pages as a start. From here you can examine images made with this camera, and search for tags or focal length to help narrow down to the particular lens. I don't see a way to search the EXIF directly unfortunately.

Yes — the AF-P DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G has limited compatibility with the Nikon D7100. The key point is that the D7100 may need the latest firmware for AF-P lens support.

Reported limitations on the D7100 with AF-P lenses include:

  • On VR versions, you may not be able to switch VR off from the camera.
  • You may not get the menu option for full-time manual focus override while AF is enabled.
  • If the lens is in its retracted position when the camera is turned on, the camera may show a “lens not detected” error.

So the lens can work, but not with full AF-P functionality found on newer bodies.

For sample images, Nikon compatibility pages can confirm support, while Flickr is a practical place to look for real-world photos. Start with D7100 image pools or camera pages, then narrow by tags, focal lengths, or lens name where possible.
