[QUOTE="SteveH, post: 401569, member: 9252"] Ah I see! Out of those two choices, I would go for the 18-140 - As a travel lens it is one of the best. A lot of what you are wanting is more towards the wider 18mm end, but up to 140mm will be useful too. The 35mm & 50mm primes are both very popular - The reason being that 50mm is the nearest to your natural eyesight's field of view. The 35mm is popular because it provides a focal length of 52mm on a crop sensor camera, which the D5300 is. I use a 35mm on my D7100 and it is by far my most used lens - I haven't used the 18-55 since I bought the 35mm, but an 18-140 would be very useful.
