actually, what happen is strong wind has push my tripod and make my camera fallen to ground.. luckily the lens touch the ground first.. where my camera still can function as usual..

about the lens, the mount has broken, the zoom function wont work, stuck on 22mm.. and my filter also stuck with the lens, can't remove it..

what i looking for is the replacement for that lens.. might be i can get better than that kit lens..

budget around 1k..

The one that i recomend all Nikon

17-55 f2.8, is the king of DX, pretty expensive for new one, but second hand one around 3.3-3.5k. One lens for all

18-105 is the one lens for all. An upgrade from your 18-55 kit lens, not exactly cheap for new one, around RM900, but then second hand one, cheapest i saw Rm650.

18-200 is the travel lens that many would like, cover from wide to long focal, abit expensive around 2k for new.

All of the above will be good for traveling, (although 17-55 is very heavy to consider for travel) 17-55 is very sharp lens, while 18-105 and 18-200 is ok sharp lens.


Added on April 12, 2012, 8:47 pmYes. All AFS lens, which can be used with your D5100.

Just look for lens with AFS in front and it will come with motor inside so you can use with your cam
