Introducing myself as a new Nikon D3100 user since end of August, and right now I'm looking just mainly on home use, shooting at people and family during events like CNY or Christmas. (Candid photography)
Right now I have a 18-55mm kit lens and for my shooting purpose as mentioned I was introduced macro lens, is it really macro lens that I need for my camera?

QUOTE(gnome @ Sep 5 2011, 09:40 PM) As usual first lens people will buy after getting the kit is 50mm...next will be zoom lens, most probably 55-200 or 70-300mm. If he/she decides to buy another lens after that he will probably feels the body limitation by then so its time to upgrade body  Well from my pov anyways  I'm quite sorry to be a new guy in photography here but what do u mean by just 50mm? what kind of lens is 50mm? Any tips please? Coz i'm also looking for a new lens for my 2-week-old D3100, help me out pls >< |

QUOTE(piscesguy @ Sep 6 2011, 11:37 AM) U should go for 50mm 1.8G if u want AF. Take note the 1.5x crop makes this a 75mm lens on a DX. If u like MF, then u can for 50mm 1.8D.  What's DX and what's FX? |

Hi, I'm currently looking for D3100's battery grip, since Nikon doesnt have its own original grip for the D3100, which 3rd party brand would you all recommend me?

QUOTE(FreakyRookie @ Sep 12 2011, 10:00 PM) I'm new here , i would like to know my nikon d3100 18-55mm lens capable with which type of uv filter? 52mm or 58mm?? Obviously it's 52mm. Ur lens, as you've stated 18-55mm, is the kit lens that comes with the camera itself, has a diameter of 52mm. So yeah, 52mm. Btw, I'm another D3100 user  |
