<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 3052331, member: 36230&quot;]Since folks are starting to recommend lenses, I just want to press the fact that there are a number of options, both Nikkor and third party and particularly if buying used, that will <i><u>not</u></i> have AF if used on the OP&#039;s camera. Again, this shouldn&#039;t be a big issue for macro work, but if he&#039;d want to use the lens for other purposes it certainly can be. The D3100 does <i><u>not</u></i> have screw-drive AF capabilities and means any AF lens without an internal focusing motor will <i>not</i> AF on his camera. If memory serves me, for all sense and purposes he&#039;d need to buy an AF-S lens (or third party equivalent) if he wants the ability to autofocus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, while Nikon was wise (imo) to keep the F Mount alive, their camera and lens line up can be confusing and is why anyone with consumer-level camera considering lens options must be careful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
