Anyone ever bought from Lensa Grafita before?

Okay, so I looked on here before posting this for similar questions and there was only one. I'm wanting a Nikon D5100 SLR and the cheapest place I could find one was Lensa Grafita -I don't have a lot of money at all and this is the camera I have been looking for for a long time now to get one cheap- It says that this camera is on sale, with the lens and other accessories. The only thing that makes me wary is the fact that they only accept bank transfers… Never done that before, -always use Paypal- I would like to know if anyone has used them before and if they can be trusted or any other advice given would be nice.

I don't want any 'avoid!'s' okkay? I would like proper advice!

My Nikon D60's Lens.not working right?

I recently got a Gold Edition Nikon D60 from a pawn shop. It didn't come with anything but the camera body and a Nikon 18-55mm lens.
The problem I'm having is that sometimes the camera won't focus, and when I press the shutter release halfway, it makes a noise like if it's stuck or something. This is my first DSLR, so I don't know what to do… Any help?
If it's any help this is the 'info' the lens has:
Nikon DX
AF-S NIKKOR18-55 13.5-5.6GIIED
DX SWM ED Aspherical (?)-0.28m/0.92ft(?)52
It also has a UV Filter on it…

Well thank in advanced…

What Standard Lens Is Best?

I have a Nikon D3100 and I was interested in getting a standard lens that I would be able to use for face portraits, torso/face portraits, and full body portraits. I want to be able to do all these different perspectives with a particular lens without having to go back from the subject very far. The lens I would like would definitely have to be able to manual and auto-focus and would hopefully be able to be used still if I upgrade to a D90. I was looking at these lenses and was curious what your suggestions would be:

http://www.henrys.com/857-NIKON-AF-S-50MM-F1-4-G-LENS.aspx

http://www.henrys.com/65185-NIKON-AF-S-50MM-F1-8-G-LENS.aspx ***

http://www.henrys.com/26232-SIGMA-30MM-F1-4-EX-DC-NIKON-HSM.aspx ***

http://www.henrys.com/719-SIGMA-50MM-F1-4-EX-DG-HSM-NIKON.aspx ***

The ones with stars beside them were suggested by different people at Henry's at two different locations and over e-mail!

I don't know which one would be best!

Nikon UK Repair Service?

Okay so I've had my Nikon D90 for around 5 months, and its been working amazingly well for me, although just recently I've noticed green stuck pixels and its become rather annoying. So I called up my Local Jessops store where I bought it from and they said to bring it in, showed them the defect and the guy took the body to send to Nikon for repair (also logging the condition of the D90 body on a label/tag ) stating it as superb as new condition, which it is.

What I'm worried about is, is the camera going to come back in superb as new condition like I have kept it? Or have others experienced horror stories with this kind of thing in terms of Nikon Repairs. Or could the body get scratched to death?

You do tend to see it on the TV how some of these (not all) tech repair centres operate and the customers product usually ends up being in a worser condition/state than when it initially arrived or the issue has not been fixed whatsoever.

I wouldn't even be that worried about the dead sensor pixels if it had been lets say a £300-£400 DSLR, but when your paying almost £1, 000 for something out of my hard earned money and (me being 19 I saved up a while to get it ) it is rather annoying.

hope there are good experiences from this initial Nikon service and look forward to peoples replies

I'd like to get your opinion on these cameras in which I'm considering about buying for my class and for personal use. If you can, please give me your opinion and which one you would recommend. Also, if there's any camera you would suggest that I have not listed.

I'm not sure on which camera to purchase but these are my options:
1. Canon - EOS Rebel T3i 18.0-Megapixel DSLR Camera
2. Canon - EOS Rebel T2i 18.0-Megapixel DSLR Camera
3. Nikon - D5100 16.2-Megapixel DSLR Camera

Added (1). Also, I want to start taking HD videos and I'm more of a portrait girl rather than scenery.

I bought a Nikon d90 with 30k shutter clicks?

I bought a Nikon d90 with 30k shutter clicks from this one guy on craigslist today. He said he had taken well care of it. When I went home and checked the shutter clicks it said it was 30, 000. When I found this out it made me kind of nervous because I was hoping for a lower number. I know these cameras are pretty reliable and are guaranteed for at least 100, 000. If I ever wanted to sell the camera I feel like it would depreciate the value but then again I always worry about everything. Would this make you nervous, should I worry?

Is there a big bokeh difference between 60mm f/2.8G micro and 85mm f/3.5 micro?

I have a Nikon D3100 and am planning to buy a new lens, specifically a prime lens. All the photos I take are of food, for my food blog http://fifteenspatulas.com/

My problem with my photos now is that they are not sharp at all.

I've narrowed my choices for a new lens between the Nikon 60mm f/2.8 micro and 85mm f/3.5 micro. I do want to have some bokeh/blur (I know those aren't the same thing but forgive my lack of photography knowledge) but I don't know if 2.8 and 3.5 is a big difference.

I also think maybe the 85mm may be too much zoom for me but that's another issue.

If you have any insight on the differences between the aperture for these lenses (or anything else), I would be grateful to hear it.
