[QUOTE="RobBnTX, post: 40733, member: 8368"] Just one thing to remember is that the D5100 does not have an internal AF motor, so you need to make sure any lens you buy is an AF-S designated lens with the motor built into the lens or it will not auto focus on the your camera. Why Canon puts this feature on their lower end "Rebel" line of DSLRs but Nikon does not on the D3000/3100 and D5000/D5100 models is beyond me! The D90 and up in the Nikon line do have internal AF motors. Shouldn't be much of a problem though as there should be a good selection to choose from that do have the AF-S designation but something to keep in mind when shopping for a new lens. Rob [/QUOTE]
