I replaced my Olympus 600-UZ that I despised using with the brand new Nikon D5100. Originally, I was going to get the kit lens to save myself some money but since the kit lens sucks I put the extra money to a 35mm f/1.8G lens which was the best choice I probably made. This thing had nothing but good reviews and everyone was right on what they thought of it, works great for general use and low lighting. Highly recommend anyone to get it, it's a must buy.
