Check out used camera stores or something. My mom has picked up a super beefy Monfrotto tripod for around $100,as well as a macro lense for under $200.

I've had great results with Manfrotto, I have some light stands and a tripod from them. They've taken quite a beating without any problems!

The Pro AT-X lenses are built really well and have pretty good optics for the price. I have some of their older regular lenses and the focus gears stripped after being used a lot; not sure if the new lenses are made any better.

Well, I don't do a whole lot of shooting so maybe that would be okay. I'm more for making sure I have pictures of my crap lol.

I think that lens is an AT-X version so it should be great.

You might also consider this used, it's just a hair off what you wanted.

Freakin Adorama won't let me link to it, here's what I was trying to show you. They have a good selection of used equipment.

Okay, maybe you guys can put this in laymans terms for me. How will I know which lens will and will not fit my camera? Please help dumb it down for me :)

I have a D3200 for those who don't know

Here you go

I could be wrong, but I believe any Nikon mount will work. For auto focus to work the motor has to be in the lense though, since the body does not have the motor inside it.

Great price!
My local store has a renting option before committing to buy.
And if I like it I can return it and but used off your link :D

Yea renting is great, the only thing with this lens is because it's made for full frame, it may have more distortion than the other one you were looking for. I've never used it so idk, just something to compare with the two.

Took a study break so I'm sharing some more. This Porshe rolls around where I live so I met up with him and took these. It was before I really know what I was doing and only had the camera for 2 weeks. I wish I could go back with the small bit of knowledge I have now.
