[QUOTE="shibang, post: 55324, member: 9462"] As already pointed out by Marcel, anything with AF-S will auto focus on the D5100 and pretty much any if not all Nikon DSLR's. You probably got the 18-105mm if you got the D5100 kit? What I would suggest is not to rush out and buy lenses without being very sure you know what you want as this can work out very expensive if you make the wrong choice. I would pay attention so some of the focal lengths you have available to you at the moment if you have the 18-105mm 18mm, 35mm, 50mm and 85mm The reason I say this is because 35mm, 50mm and 85mm are very popular prime lenses for different purposes and 18mm because it will give you a good idea after a few months shooting if you need a wide angle or not. On a D5100 the 50mm is a pretty good portrait lens but the 85mm even better, the 35mm is a very good day to day lens which will also take good portraits but if you get too close then the subjects face can look a little distorted. When I first replaced my kit lens I went through Lightroom looking at what focal lengths I was using most and it soon became clear that most of my shots were around the 35mm length so it was pretty easy for me to decide that would be my best upgrade for the least amount of money.
