Well I'm very new & getting a D3100 at the end of next month. I want to know what Lens I should buy(cheap) if I'm not doing anything "professional".

What I want to take pictures of are Hairstyles bc I want to make a Portfolio Book for my Cosmetology clients. I'd also like to take pictures of myself & my (American Eskimo) dog. IDK what else I'd like to do yet, but will post again when I decide I want another lens.

Try the Nikon 35mm f1.8G DX, 40mm f2.8G Micro lens, and the 50mm f1.8G lens. These will work well with your D3100. Visit one of your nearest camera store and see which one you prefer. Good luck.

Whatever you get just make sure it's an AF-S as your camera has no internal focusing motor. I found out the hard way when I got my 50mm 1.8D, had to return it for the 1.8G.
