[QUOTE="hrstrat57, post: 479219, member: 27586"] Enjoy your DX camera. The Nikkor 18-55 VR is a great lens. Many around these parts say the Nikon 55-200 VR is junk maybe I got lucky, my copy is great. Does it produce the results of my pro glass? No. Do I often grab my D300, 18-55VR and 55-200 VR quick for a walkaround town or the beach or whatever? You bet....they do about 75% of what I visualize and weigh nothing which results in a better walkaround. Plus if I drop one of those lenses in the drink oh well.......and I often just leave them in the car (not in direct sunlight of course!) Get a nice copy of the Nikon 55-200 VR and shoot pictures. (tho the 18-300 is sweet too ha ha) Eventually you will want a prime "standard" lens like the Nikkor DX 35 1.8 or a bit longer 50 F1.4 D which I love. That is a topic for down the road when you get "GAS" or "NAS" [/QUOTE]
