I was trying to help a new 5100 user that had just purchased the 80-200 2.8 D lens (the old bargain), that unfortunately the 5100 cannot autofocus,
well, I said..Nikon has this nice focus assist in the viewfinder with the arrow and green circle, so I tried it out, but nope, they turned that off too! Darn, This function is very handy in the d7000 and other higher end models, but Nikon chooses to not include.
Some features I understand, but some so help the beginner, so why not include?
She is now trading in the 5100 for a 7000 to fully use the awesome lens.
