I thought this camera had a fixed lens, although there seems to be extra lenses in the kit...Why?

Look at the front of your lens and you will see fine threads that allow your extra lenses to screw into. These extra lenses will allow you to engage in a greater variety of shots that you cannot do with the original basic lenses alone. These lenses will let you take extreme closeup pictures, they may be filter lenses that block ultraviolet light, remove reflections from non-metalic surfaces (water, glass), assist in telephoto shots, etc. If you only use your camera to take pictures of gatherings then a PHD (Push here, dummy) camera would work just as well.

It costs the same as the kit with the viewfinder, so I'm going to assume it includes it and just return it if it doesn't. :\

I ordered this lens for my daughter for Christmas and it is new in original packaging. The 'additional' components to the package deal (like the filters, lens cloth, etc.) were in the Amazon package itself - not in with the lens. Hope this is helpful.

Occasionally the camera tells me there's no lens attached. It could be related to your problem too.

I'm almost sure youre lens is good. As it is a prime lens, you cant control the f-stop with the camera body, so the the camera can't detect that there is a lens attached as it would with your kit lens. Go into your camera's menu, go to the section designated by the picture of the gear. Scroll down until you see the option that says "Release w/o lens" and enable it. You should be able to use the lens now.Hope this helps!-Andrew

Some people are not interested in the lens that comes with the kit, and would prefer to buy the body of the camera and then separately buy a different lens. That is what I did and it was an affordable way to get a higher quality camera and lens.

This camera, like all non-DSLR's, has a fixed lens. The only way to add a lens is to get an adapter tube. However I have tried that and have not been able to get better pics. So I sold my camera and bought a Coolpix P520, as it has 42x optical zoom and I can get a lot better bird close ups.

You can ABSOLUTELY add a 2 x telephoto or wide angle lens. I haven't done so but the lens is threaded and I plan on getting one shortly. Fun camera so far and looking forward to better weather to really put it through it's paces.

Hi Brian, if you're buying new, this particular package is supposed to come with all the accessories. But if you're buying used, I'd recommend checking the descriptions from each seller because some of them are missing the lens.

It's in the manual but the camera has a setting to override the dof focus etc. In that respect it's not really intuitive.

The lens that comes with thecamera is the one you are stuck with. There is nowhere for extra lens to be put on.

This kit has macro and telephoto lenses which can be attached to the camera's kit lens. Make sure you get the right diameter for your lens.

the d3100 normally comes sold as a "kit"....includes camera, "kit lens" (a fairly inexpensive lens such as a 18-50mm), battery, etc....what the seller is trying to convey is that you are getting everything in the box except a lens that would normally be in the box...

It has a fixed lens 42x zoom approx. 1000mm. I really like mine it has a great amount of zoom capability and that was what I was looking for.

Mine came with one extra lens, but my old Minolta lens fit it which is one of the reasons I chose this camera. I noticed that all of the kits contain different items. Read list carefully. I am happy with my camera though.

I'm guessing it's the lens, since the motor is built-in and not in the camera. Easiest way to find out is for her to stop by a camera store and try a different lens on it.
