[QUOTE="seanm, post: 59617, member: 9776"] Hi! I am a new D3100 owner and am very happy. Got one of the red ones. Reminds me of a sports car. (grin) I have been exploring my camera for a few weeks and really enjoying the learning curve. I have not had a SLR since an old Pentax I had in the 80's. I am primarily a model railroader and want to take better pictures of my models. Aside from macro abilities since the models are small, I also need a lot of depth of field. Since I really know very little about cameras, I assume I need a lens that can gather a lot of light, allowing me to use a very small aperture or throw a ton of light at the subject and use very long exposures. Since lighting is not always optimal on the layout, I would prefer a lens that can gather a lot of light.... Any suggestions here? Also, if I am off base on my understanding, please correct me so I can understand better. Thanks! -SeanM [/QUOTE]
