[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 511291, member: 13090"] I'd suggest you get a Nikon 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR for your daily, walkabout lens. Bought new, it's a $500 lens. The other lens I would suggest would be a Nikon 35mm f/1.8G which I prefer over the 50mm f/1.8G when used on a DX body but that's a Ford vs. Chevy sort of thing; either one, really would serve you well. Either lens will set you back around $200 bought new. When it comes to quality glass (especially zoom lenses) I would advise you to be prepared to spend $500, and upward of that, rather easily. Half-way decent glass is expensive. REALLY GOOD glass is [I]really expensive[/I] and really good, really [I]fast[/I] glass (f/2.8 et al) is cringe-inducing expensive. Problem is, once you've tasted really good, really fast glass, there's no going back. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
