Can anyone suggest a comfortable strap for my D5100, preferably a shoulder strap. Thanks

I have one which I use with my D5100 and I love it. Definitely my favourite lens at the moment.

Thanks for the advice, I am expecting myself to use the 35mm the most due to image quality and the way it makes the camera more compact. Would a 55-200mm be a nice 2nd lens to take with me in a city like New York? The last time I went there I took lots of photos with the 18-55 and would...

I think I may have over-exagerated my comments on that lens from my last post. It's given me some good pictures and has a good range but after owning the 35mm 1.8g it opened my eyes to the quality better lenses are capable of.

Going on holiday in August to New York for 2 weeks. I have already bought myself a new camera (Nikon D5100) and a nice prime to go with it (35mm 1.8g). I have an old Nikon 18-55mm Non-VR kit lens too, but I'm not the biggest fan of this lens compared to the quality of the prime. I've got my...

At the moment I only have a 35mm 1.8g prime and would like a zoom lens. I've narrowed it down to these two models. Nikon 18-105mm VR Nikon 55-200mm VR Does anyone own these lens or have any experience with them? Thanks :)

No there isn't unfortunately. As mentioned, I had originally purchased the lens with my Nikon D40 and have tried it out with my brand new D5100 and still no luck. I would assume that the focus motor inside the lens has broken but I'm not too clued up on these sorts of things. Thanks

I don't think the D5100 has this. I have the lens switch flicked to 'Auto' though.

^ Correct. The lens has an auto focus motor built-in, hence 'AF-S'. So it should auto focus.

I have a Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED which I am using on a Nikon D5100 and it doesn't auto-focus. Everything else seems to work fine on the lens but what ever settings I try it won't AF so I have to manually focus. I also had the same issue with this lens on my old D40. Has...

Cleaned sensor, problem solved. Thanks guys

Works great. Thanks!

If I take a photo and it's saved as a RAW file and I later notice when post processing in Lightroom 4 that there is an obvious spec of dust on the lens which has been picked up, how would I remove this? I know how to remove it as a .jpg in Photoshop. Would I have to export the RAW to jpeg...

I've got the wireless controller which works fine. Have you booked the holiday yet? I normally go to New York in August because I like the heat.

You can pick up a D90 on eBay for about £400. I did my research before buying my D5100 as I was deciding between the two. I opted for the D5100 because it has greater overall image quality, the sensor is better and I didn't NEED the extra controls the D90 has, nor did I NEED the in-built focus...
