Best d.o.f lens for d5100?
I'm looking for lens for my d5100.
specifically lens that are good at d.o.f (depth of field) & can zoom.
I suck at looking for lens, i'm no professional but I do want quality in my pictures
I wanted the nikkor 50mm but somebody told me that autofocus won't work on the d5100, unless he's wrong which makes it more confusing. Could anybody suggest me lens? I don't like pricey items so at the most I would like them to cost $300. Please & thanks!
Added (1). @Hondo, like I said, i'm no professional, I don't think people are understanding me too well lol.
I know that every lens has d.o.f, but many of the lens out there can do specifically that. The kit lens that I currently have suck when it comes to d.o.f, but there's many lens out there that can do better. Know what i'm saying?
What? Every lens is good at depth of field, otherwise nothing would ever be in focus!
I don't think you understand what depth of field means…
You need to spend more time learning how to use your fine D5100 before you start looking for a lens that does not exist.
There are NO fast, zoom lenses that cost less than $300.

Secondly there are two Nikkor AF-S 50 mm lenses that will auto-focus perfectly with your amazing D5100 camera. Your "somebody" was thinking of Nikkor AF lenses which are rapidly being replaced by AF-S lenses
This lens will work just fine on your camera in the auto-focus mode and costs less than $300
