I just started taking more pics with my d100 that ive had for a while… The lens i have on it now is some ub3r zoom lens that really cant take any pics indoors due to the zoom I want a cheap (under 100 bux) lens that i can use for around the house shooting and some car photography… I’m not really into photography right now, but i want to take some nice pics of my dogs etc… any recommendations on what lens to snag for my nikon d100? ---

only thing you’re going to get for that price is probably an 18-55 Nikkor. Plenty around. It’s the lens that comes with most of the lower end kits. ---

Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 ? 35mm would be nicer for your needs, but a $100 more… ---

I’d go with the 18-55 or, if you can find it in the price range, the 18-70. Both are great kit lenses that came with a ton of cameras. They’ll suit you well.
