[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 416397, member: 13090"] Yes, it would be an excellent choice. The 35mm is just the ticket. It's not a portrait lens so if you try to do head and shoulder shots, yes; you'll see some perspective distortion but that's not what this lens is for. For general shooting purposes the 35mm f/1.8G is a must have. I'm not a huge fan of the 18-55, personally. Nothing wrong with it, [I]per se[/I], but there are so many better options, IMO. This lens would do not but gather dust and take up valuable space in my bag. I'd say it would be a "good" choice, in that it's a decent, capable lens. Outstanding glass makes a world of difference though, and the 55-300mm is not an outstanding piece of glass. It's also not priced like outstanding glass is. I'd steer you toward the Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR instead, personally. Entirely do-able but you'll want to keep the shutter speed up and that's going to mean, most likely, shooting at higher ISO's. Good technique and VR will help of course.
