direct offer i just ask for free lens protector the UV filter is 10sg the rest of the freebies was from nikon xmas promo there was a store offering the camera a bit cheaper i think the name was bally (same floor)but i got it from AP cause i got my last camera from them (fujifilm s1500) and im more comfortable with dealing with someone i know instead of someone else look for joseph low nice guy.... no hard sell on other items i dont need yet although i was looking for additional lenses he told me to play with the kit lens first and learn more so that i could decide what i need to buy next... its rare that a salesman will be honest with you instead of just trying to make a quick buck btw card reader and nikon cleaning cloth was included in promo

it has all the nikon lens price is USD ..
35mm f1.4 will be really really really expensive if i m not wrong, it is about 3000 SGD... and it is FX (full frame) lens ..
but there is 35mm F1.8 with built in motor , cost about 330 SGD.
and it is meant for DX camrea like D3100. ( D3100 does not have built in motor inside)
this will be the best prime DX len .. i myself own one ...and it is a super good
50mm f1.8 doesnot have buitl in motor as well. so , if u hook it up with D3100, you have to manual focus
cost about 200SGD
i tired that len before and it is cool but, manual focusing is a pain ..( may be it is just me )
if you wanna get ride of 18-55 and 55-200, try 18-200 len ..it cost about 1000 SGD ..
there is other brand which is compactible with nikon
tamron 18-200 .. a bit cheaper , something like 400-550
but i heard focusing is slow and pain.

that mean is pointless to get 50mm f1.8 in D3100?
must well direct get a 35mm 1.8 ?

Hi all, just got a nikon 35mm f/1.8. Best purchase to date. Very good for potraits in normal and low lighting. Pictures and sharp n "crispy". Thanks for the advice.

Real scary, esp buddha in pic #3 .... colors so real, image so sharp, can almost can "feel" the textures. Wonder whats the difference in IQ compared to the D7000.

i wouldn't go that far to say pointless, but 35mm f1.8 would be ideal choice. ( u can choose to practice manual focus in 35mm if u want to , as it has both auto and manual ... and u can override autofcous which is a nice touch.
) extract from ken rockwell blog
"The advantage of this new 35mm f/1.8 is that it autofocuses on the D40, D40X and D60, and that it allows instant manual-focus override simply by grabbing the focus ring."
http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/35mm-f18.htm
if u shoot still subject , manual focusing won't be a problem.
but imagine, u r shooting ppl walking / street photos and trying manual focusing would be quiet challenging.
but there are times you find that manual focusing has some advantages

i wish nikkon has 50 1.8 af-s dx ....
