The AF lenses won't auto-focus on the D3100. If you don't mind manual focus, go for it, otherwise, you'll need the AF-S lenses.

Welcome! I have the D3100 and I love it. It is a great camera for someone learning to use a DSLR camera. The auto settings are awesome while you still have the option of learning how to use the manual settings for more enhanced photography. One lens that I love is the 55-200mm Nikkor lens with vibration control and auto/manual focus. It is normally $299, but you can get it right now at www.ritzcamera.com for $146 no tax or shipping. For a low end Nikkor lens, it performs beautifully!

I have that lens and I love it also, I'm just trying to tackle this lens. I guess when I don't understand something its gonna bother me till I get it figured out and to honest I thought I had it figured out till I looked and they were black. Thanks so much for welcoming me.
