[QUOTE="TedG954, post: 416283, member: 9701"] Why? Remember that your D5100 requires a motorized lens. You will need a G-series lens to solve your focusing dilemma. Have you considered moving to a D7XXX ? That option will give you far more choices. The D5100 is a fine camera, but it does have some limitations. With as much as you use your camera, and the volume of photos you're taking, moving to a motorized camera is the most logical next move. Choosing DX or going directly to FX will be the tougher choice. My suggestion is to put that lens money toward your savings for a new camera (and it doesn't have to be brand new). Used and refurbs can be found at a considerable savings. Photography is more than just a passing phase for you, and you will move beyond that D5100 eventually. In the meantime, use what you have now and start a plan for that D7XXX, D6XX, or whatever else suits your needs. Good luck my friend. [/QUOTE]
