With the D3100 you have no focus motor in the camera, so all lenses if you want them to auto focus have to have an internal focusing motor.
I figured he was just referring to an effective 50mm lens. I'm getiing the 35mm

Also, I just noticed you were in Huntsville. I'm going to be moving down there at the end of June for work. Will be nice to have another Z around
