[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 276156, member: 13090"] Fisheye lenses are designed to give a widely distorted, often [URL="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DQabUt3lKik/TqrQczBS7dI/AAAAAAAAAx8/V8Ni9SJD5pI/s1600/Fish+eye+lens2.JPG"]hemispherical image[/URL]. This is, most likely, NOT what you are looking for. As has already been said, [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/882236-REG/Tokina_atx116prodxn_ii_AT_X_116_PRO_DX_II.html"]Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX-II 11-16mm f/2.8[/URL] would be more what you're looking for. If you want the camera to auto-focus this lens you'll need the DX[COLOR=#ff0000][B]II[/B][/COLOR] version of this lens with the auto-focus motor built into it since your D5100 does not have an auto-focus motor. The DX version of this lens is cheaper, but has no auto-focus motor. I've owned one of these lenses for some time and it's a superb wide angle. The lens itself determines how wide or zoomed in your shots can be. 35mm is "sort of wide"; it's wider than 50mm but less wide than 28mm. It's all relative. Lower focal length numbers mean a wider image while higher numbers mean you're zooming in. 50mm is considered a "normal" focal length in that it roughly equates to how we see things with the unaided eye. So, if 50mm is normal, then anything less than 50mm is getting wide, and anything greater than 50mm is getting into zooms. The numbers tell you how MUCH more so. [COLOR=#ffffff]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
