I would not purchase this product. I put it on an old lens and still haven't figured out how to get it off! Luckily I didn't put it on my camera body!

When you put a tube between the lens and the camera body you will lose light. You will however get closer to your subject. The camera will think there is no lens attached and you will have to focus manually, and make manual exposures. This can be frustrating and difficult. If you are looking for a closer focus feature think about tubes that are connected to the camera electronically and give you all the lens/exposure controls or think about magnifying filters that go on the front of the lens. With these you maintain control of all the lens features, exposure and autofocus.

It doesn't matter what camera you have it matters what lens you use. you need to determine if you have "G" or "D" mount lenses. G lenses will not work with these tubes. You need to be able to manually stop down the lens to use these tubes. If you don't know the difference between G and D mount look at the lens where it connects to the camera. If there is an aperture ring it's D lens, if not its a G lens. If your not comfortable with manual controls or if what I just said doesn't make sense to you, you might want to look into auto tubes. Hope that helps.

This will work fine for macro photography with your D3100. This is a very simple set of tubes - not much can go wrong with them short of mishandling them. Be aware that you will have to manually focus your lens with this set. The low price for this tube set is good if money is a very important issue. If - after using it - you enjoy this and wish to upgrade to a set of auto-focusing set of tubes you can then justify the higher cost - from $60 to $200.

I just bought a 40D and I think it is a great camera. As posted, there is not best choice but I am sure if the extra (few) bucks is not an issue, we should go for the 40D. It is also the latest sensor and I found it to be really good. Took some shots and it is great.

The flash is a generic tool with just a Nikon hot shoe, so it should work on your D3100. I've found it to be helpful. Works better in continuous on mode - either right, left or both.

I think so. I bought it for my d3100, but it should work. I discovered that I probably don't need it, I got it to do panoramic shots on a rotating ballhead. A remote shutter release will do the same thing, unless you're wanting to set it and leave it.

I own a D3100. Not sure of the difference between the two (D3000/D3100) Fits just fine and the macro is pretty good.

I upgraded from the D90, haven't used the D3100. I'd expect it's a good upgrade as the D3100 has been upgraded twice. I think waiting at least ntil the second upgrade makes sense as the next upgrade is more incremental than revolutionary. I think you'll like the D7100. I find it easier to operate and use thatn my D90 even though I had it 3 years. Have fun shooting with whatever you choose.

Absolutely, it works great with the D3100. Performs well, only thing when using on camera flash can get a shadow at bottom of photo. It's a little heavy but overall quite satisfied. Great for outdoors!

You can get super deals on the d3100 now because of the age, and they are starting to turn up in the used market. That means they are having/ maintaining a re-sale value.No one mentions how light weight this camera is for a SLR [no top screen] which makes a huge difference when you have it around your neck all day.

No problem. Just pay mind its a harsh flash. If you're planning on using the camera casually its great, but you might eventually want to go the extra mile for a nicer model for the flash itself. Two cents.

It is about as good as your are going to get without investing a huge amount of money (8-10k). Might need a monopod too. New D750 or other high performing low light DSLR is also advisable.

I use it on a D3100, and it works fine. The two are similar in shape, but I wouldn't stake my reputation on it. Take it to a shop and compare.

From other blogs and such that I have been reading it fully supports auto focusing on the d5000. I am buying it because others have highly recommended it for that purpose to go with my new d5000. I will be sure to let you know after they both arrive and I have time to play with them a bit.

Not bad, I would suggest going to the more expensive no-flash if you can afford it? If not this is a great camera for the money, I had one mature deer get spooked from the leds firing. Takes nice pics, make sure you go with a 4gb or bigger card and what Browning recommends for sd cards.

This flash should be more than enough for the shooting you'd do with your camera. Take a close look at the feature set ...if you won't use a lot of the features on this flash, you can buy a cheaper one and still be happy.

Although I am very happy w/ the Control Pro, I can't help with your question. I shoot with a Nikon D80 and it works fine , so I assume it's compatable w/ the d3100.
