[QUOTE="Pnut78, post: 22820, member: 5893"] Hello, I had to finally get a dSLR now that I have a newborn. I am sort of green when it comes to photography in general. I have a D3100. Some questions I would love an answer to: 1) How do I read lens descriptions? I mean, how can I tell if it is wide angle, macro, etc.. based off of the "code" as I put it. For example, how can you tell what kind of lens this is: AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II or [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman] [/FONT][/SIZE]AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G 2) Any sites I should know of to help with photography and settings specific to Nikon? I want to really get into it and would love a description of what settings are ideal for sunny, indoor with low lighting, if I am in Manual mode and how to adjust the settings (I figured out how to adjust shutter speed and aperture so far.) Thanks! I hope to become a regular Nikonite! [/QUOTE]
