I know the lens question has been asked 100 times but it's all so overwhelming. I bought a D5300 a few months ago. I bought the kit that came with the 18-55mm lens and the 55-200mm lens. I am just not happy all the time with those lenses but just don't know what else to get. So let me tell you a little about what I take pictures of. I have 4 kids so you can guess that's a lot of what I am taking pictures of. That includes - nice pictures (I dare to say portrait but yes portrait), parties and activities. Their activities give me the biggest challenge. Here are some of the activities they do - theatre (indoor and my biggest challenge), swimming (indoor a lot and another challenge), band concerts, soccer, tennis, etc... The theater is my biggest challenge because I need a zoom for it, sometimes 200 is not enough. I want to take clear pictures and just can't get that all the time. I did pictures of my daughter for senior pictures and just not as happy with them as I thought I would be. I love to take pictures of the kids for special occasions but want a better lens for that too.
So Suggetions? I thought about the 35mm one or the 70-300 mm?
The next question is filter or no filter and I have never owned a hood? Sorry so many questions.
