Review Of The Beautiful D3100 Digital SLR Camera From Nikon (Third Part)
This is the 3rd part of my review of the Nikon D 3100 digital SLR camera.
Lenses
To appreciate the high quality, beautiful results that can be achieved using the Nikon D3100, it is important that you have an equivalent quality lens, preferably with vibration reduction (VR). If you already have suitable lenses then you are probably thinking of buying the D3100 body only. Generally , camera bundles offer really good value for money, ending up Less expensive than buying camera body and lenses seperately and will usually have various extras included such as ultraviolet filter or camera bag .
Twenty five years ago when I bought my first SLR camera, I have to admit that I was bewildered by the choice of lenses, the numbers on them and the features they offered. The following provides a short overview of which lenses may be suitable for your purpose . This simplified explaination has been written to assist the reader who has not owned an SLR camera before, to understand the different lens options on offer . A more advanced user would also consider other factors such as the size of the camera's sensor when selecting an appropriate focal lenght and lens.
The key here is the focal length of the lens, which is what all those numbers that describe a lens indicate. Without being too technical, the focal length of a lens determines its angle of view, and how much the subject will be magnified when you hold the camera in a particular position. To photograph a flower, building or a landscape you would use a wide angle lens with a focal length of say, 18mm. For general use a focal length of 35mm could be suitable whereas, for a portrait best results would be achieved with a medium telephoto lens with a focal length of at least 70mm. However, if you plan to take magnified photographs of wildlife or baseball you will require a telephoto lens with a focal length of 200 to 300mm.

Frequently Asked Questions...
How do I pick a proper UV lens for my DSLR?
I bought my refurbished Nikon D3000 a couple months ago, and I'm looking into UV filters. I have a kit lens (18-55mm) and a lens I bought a few weeks ago (55-300mm), and I hadn't even considered UV filters until now. I finally have money again, hahaha, so I can afford to get one for my lenses.
Anyway, how do I select a proper filter? Do I even really need one? What company would you recommend? How much should I expect to pay?
Sorry for all the questions, but I need to get this right. Thank you in advance!
Answer:
There is some reason that the guys/gals above are kind of discouraging you on the UV filter.
I personally think it is a personal choice of the photographer. I choose not to use them in general, however there are few instances that my lens could have benefitted from having one.
In normal every day use you should be caring for your lenses like they are gold. Keep your lens cap on when not shooting, keep them cleaned with a good lens cloth or Lens Pen (LOVE lens pens.) Protect your camera-don't let it swing around on the camera strap; be aware of it whenever it may bump something. My choice is to use a hand strap instead of a neck strap because I have better control over the camera and it doesn't hurt my neck, weigh on my back. That's all personal preference!! The things you do to protect your lens from the damage you are concerned about is also necessary to protect your camera. If you care for your camera like a baby you shouldn't have damage issues. If you don't you will probably do more than scratch a lens-in which case a UV filter won't help you either.
If you do choose to use a filter for protection remember a few things. First and foremost that is yet another piece of glass that the image has to travel through. It is going to have an effect on or degrade your image-no matter what filter you use. If you purchase cheap glass it is going to degrade your image more than good glass. It is going to degrade your image.
You are not shooting with top quality glass to begin with. I would want the best quality I could possibly get out of those lenses-I don't want to lose any quality. They aren't BAD lenses by any means-but if you shot with Nikon's top of the line glass and compared the images you would DEFINITELY see the difference in color and crispness.
GOOD filters can cost as much or more than the lens itself. you want to look for a glass, multi coated filter. Cheap is not good in general. here is some more info on choosing a filter. It has some tests to give you a little help in understanding what I typed: http://photo.net/equipment/filters/
AND lastly... Don't apologize for your questions!! Much better to ask than to discover later that you wasted $ on something that is junk, wasn't what you needed, wanted or didn't do what you want it to!
