When I'm taking photos with this lens on my Nikon D5200 using the camera flash, a shadow of the lens is coming in the photos. Anyone else seeing this?

That is entirely normal. Firstly Remove the lens hood (that won't help when shooting really wide angle), but from around 35-50mm you may be shadow free. I would suggest an accessory flash, this will get rid of shadows. The Nikon models are excellent but very expensive, 3rd party models are readily available and are excellent for beginners and enthusiasts especially, even older Nikon flash models like the SB-26 are superb but have no TTL with digital, only manual flash. It's worth getting the flash off the camera altogether when possible, for a more natural look.. via wireless triggers, cable or commander mode (available with D7000 series and up).

Will this Auto Focus on a Nikon D3200, or will it have to be used in Manual Focus?

It will auto focus and meter on any DX cameras. I would caution the owners of more compact DSLR's (like the D3200), that the Sigma is a wide, heavy lens and it may be uncomfortable to shoot with on these cameras. It's perhaps even too large for comfortable use on the D7000 series cameras, without using a battery grip.

Can I use this lens on a Nikon D600? xx

Yes but it is designed for DX cameras and will not cover the full frame. I bought mine thinking I was sticking with DX but then bought a full frame camera only two weeks later. It was great in crop mode but obviously at much reduced 10.8 mega pixels. It would not even cover the intermediate 30X20mm setting that my full frame camera has. Great lens but you are probably better off going for a full frame lens. Sigma designates theirs as DG lenses as opposed to DC in the name of this lens - seems a bit too similar to me - easy to confuse a G and a C.Tim.

Can I use this lens with my Nikon D80 ?

I have found this to be a very capable lens and good value for money. I use it with My Nikon D300 cameras and should see no problems with the D80.
