i just bought a Nikon D3100 18-55 VR camera and i don't know much about photography. it came with the basic 18-55 lens. i am looking for the kind of lens that will give a clear picture of the person or object but will make the background blurry like a magazine photo. i just dont know what lens will do this. was hoping someone can give me the name of the lens i need to get the blurry back ground. also i just need the lense for close or portrait photos. thanks

Here is a list of Nikon lens that can give you what you're looking for (close up shot with blurry background), some are pricey though. I didn't mention the 35mm & the 50mm because for close up shot you'll need to be very close of the subject with those two, especially the 35mm (and this one has a bit of distortion), if you're looking for more room between you and your subject have a look at those:
85mm 1.8 (AF won't work with your DSLR, only manuel focus)

Best fisheye lens for a Nikon D3100 (DSLR Camera)?
Brandon
I want to get a fisheye to film with on my DSLR. Ive been looking into a Rokinon 8mm and an Opteka 6.5mm. Im not trying to sound cheap, but im not in a good financial position to pay alot of money for a Sigma. So if theres any other fisheye lens I can put on my DSLR, that are 250 or less, Id appreciate it if you told me about it.
-Thanks
Answer
The 6.5 mm lens will give you better coverage.
But when a Nikkor and Sigma costs nearly $1,000, the Rokinon or Opteka are about as low a price as you will find
Just save your pennies just wait until you can budget for one of them. Unless there is an assignment that requires you to use a fisheye, you will have to wait
