[QUOTE="SteveH, post: 305878, member: 9252"] While you are on a budget (Who isn't?) I'd focus on what you photograph more often and get the lenses to suit - Unfortunately there is no lens that will do everything. I'd try and resist the temptation to try and cover everything right away. The 18-105 is good to start as it will do landscapes at 18mm, and is good for portraits etc at the longer end. For concerts, the 35 or 50mm 1.8 G's are good as they are great for low-light, and they are cheap for what you get and are useful "Every day" lenses. Also, don't forget that you can rent lenses to try before you buy - The range of lenses available is HUGE, so take your time, enjoy the process and build your collection around what you like to capture. You will constantly be learning, so there is no harm in starting with one or two lenses and building from there :) [/QUOTE]
