[QUOTE="Vinnydude, post: 216210, member: 17618"] I've got the D5100 and am using the sigma 17-50mm 2.8 lens and it is a HUGE improvement on the kit lens it came with. The main thing with buying new lenses for the d5100 you need to be aware of is the focus motor, it doesn't have one in the camera body so you need to keep an eye out for that. The lens you are looking at is HSM (hypersonic motor I think) so yeah, you are safe with that :) Also, I got the Yongnuo 560III. Although I've not used an sb700 flash, I can say that the yongnuo 560III has been great so far. Don't forget to get a diffuser too, that really helps soften the flash up! They are only a few quid though :) Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
