[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 2346, member: 1061"] There is no best ______. In this case, lens. Ask 100 people this question, and you're likely to get at least 80 different answers. It largely depends on the subjects you typically shoot, budget, and personal preferences. What I do think though, is that there is an answer to the question: Which is the most [U]versatile[/U] lens for the money. Or, where can you get the most bang for your buck? Answer: Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D Weighing in @ around $130, it's hard to beat this as an all-purpose lens upgrade. Many photographers use it for portraits or just a "walking around" lens.
