Quick Lens Question

SCMRubix · 1 Apr 2012 at 19:54

So I've had my D3100 for about 6months now and have loved learning how to get a grasp of the basics.

I've been looking at getting myself a new lens, for general shooting. A few portraits, landscape, street photography etc.
I've been looking at the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. as my budget is pretty low.

Questions are; Is this a good beginner lens to go for?
Will this Auto-Focus with my D3100? Noob question I know, just don't want to be an even bigger plonker and buy one and it didn't.

Thanks in advance

Managed to find the 35mm for actually a little bit less than the 50mm

Thanks for the advice on the crop sensor, didn't realise this so I did a little reading on it.

Out of the box yesterday - just a few ordinary snaps in my bedroom at 1.8
