[QUOTE="PL8638, post: 162154, member: 14589"] This seems to be a list of all the lenses that will work with the d5100, including macros. Third party ones like Tamron and Sigma are included.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nikon_F-mount_lenses_with_integrated_autofocus_motors]List of Nikon F-mount lenses with integrated autofocus motors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] I have the Nikon 40mm 2.8 Micro. I`m glad I bought it. It produces great images, and sharper than the 18-55 VR, but to my eyes thus far, not by much. It`s also a great low light lens for the twilight shots I like to explore. However many say it`s not good for bugs, too short, and efforts to get close enough to fill the frame can easily scare away the subject. There`s also the issue of shading the subject when getting so close. That all makes sense. To me though, it`s a fast multi-pupose lens that`s good for occasional close ups.
