Good luck @Redtail55 and please post some pics when you get it.
If you have to get cheap glass to start out grab a used kit pair 18-55 AF VR and 55-200 AF VR. I am shocked at how good they are on the D300 and despite purchasing much better lenses subsequently I still often walk around with the D300 and the kit pair. Add a cheap Nikon 50 f/1.4 AF D and you will be able to cover more situations than you might think very nicely.
Good start. For a hundred bucks you can pick up a nice 18-55VR lens for those landscape shots.
Once you get some practice, then we'll advise you on future lens purchases.:excitement:
We love spending other peoples money around here.

I got one of those too! LOL >It came with the D3200 I have but I'm thinking of selling it with the camera instead of just trying to sell the body only .
strong recco you don't do that. If it is a good sharp copy it will be super sharp on D300s. I fully expected my kit lenses to be junk as I am a huge lens snob.
they are both outstanding. Do not sell until you test shoot on new camera.
Keep your 18-55. It's a great lens on the D300! And *sigh*...no, the D300s is NOT too old! It's still an amazing camera. If you like, I can send you the Setup Guide for the D300s. You can set up the 4 different banks in the camera for different shooting scenarios. Just need your email address in a PM so I can send it to you (it's in PDF format).

All seem to be with the 300s. I just started wondering why I ever needed to sell mine.
