[QUOTE="Wahugg, post: 135602, member: 10685"] I'm actually against the 35mm 1.8 lens. 35mm on a D5100 is actually a 52.5mm lens (DX 1.5x crop factor). This limits your exposure time to 11.5 seconds before streaking occurs. The 1.8f aperture is not worth the trade off on the exposure time, and the 52.5mm focal length really cuts out a lot of the scenery. I highly recommend the Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX II. It has a focal length of 11mm-16mm (this is really a 16.5mm-24mm lens). This ensures long exposures and enables you to get a lot of scenery in. It also features an aperture of 2.8f which is better then the 3.5f you currently have. -Wahugg [/QUOTE]
