[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 612738, member: 16749"] You should be able to use nearly any F-mount lens on your D3100, [USER=43460]@Jam_09[/USER], even the non-AI lenses that your manual claims you cannot. As far as I know, the only thing of which you need to beware is certain very old fisheye lenses, and some lenses that were made for a short-lived APS line of cameras, which have elements that extend far enough into the mirror box to collide with the mirror. Of course, any non-CPU lenses will only work in “M” mode. One thing I would advise is to look into installing an aftermarket focus screen. They can be found on eBay for around $21 or so. The stock focus screen that came with your camera is useless for manual focusing. [/QUOTE]
