rahul_up87 said:Hi guys,
I bought a Nikon D5100 with a kit lens roughly 20 days back and I'm already itching for a new lens.
I will be leaving on a trip to singapore and malaysia and somehow I feel that 18-55 kit lens won't be enough.
I'm confused on what lens I would be needing,whether a telephoto (55-300) or a fast prime like AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G / AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G.
My budget is 20k max.
I'm new to dslr's ....plz help me out.
Thanks
Rahul

Which message :S ? I didn't get anymedpal said:iirc faheem got one but he did not reply to my message .
^^ I used Faheems setup. Its less than useful on Nikon because Nikon removed metering support for non electronic lenses. So you have to guess the exposure and click the photos.
Using extension tubes is again a pain as the cheap ones do not have any electronics. The electronic extension tubes cost around 7k which is what can get you a used Nikon 60mm f2.8 AF 1:1 macro lens.
So to summarize, Nikon bodies lower than D200/D300 will not meter with non electronic lenses. This includes manual extension tubes (the cheap 800 bucks extension tubes available on ebay), reverse rings (for reversing lenses) or for manual focus lenses like the Nikon 105mm f2.8 AI-S.

Yeah right ! That never happensAces170 said:He only checks it if you are a chick into trance music
BF1983 said:Yes it will work perfectly. But do note that AF will start to hunt like crazy at close distances. Sharpness wise it will compete with the best out there though the Canon 100mm L lens has better contrast, better build quality, faster AF and a 2 stop IS advantage at close distances (4 stop IS at normal distances). But it costs 30k more.
