[QUOTE="Roscoe Primrose, post: 739053, member: 44900"] I'll second Andy's recommendation for the kit lens. You can pick up a good used 18-55mm G VR-II for about $75, and the distortion will be fairly well corrected in-camera, and if there' still more left that needs correcting you can do it in post. The kit lens will also probably be a good range to get started on the family/landscape photography you mentioned. At the price, if you decide it's too long/short for that purpose for YOU, that'll point you in the direction you need to go w/o setting you back too much money, and if you buy it used you can probably sell it if it's not the right thing for you and only be out the shipping costs when all is said and done. The 10-20mm DX & 12-24mm DX are both good choices if you need to go wider. The 35mm 1.8 DX is also a great lens, and everyone should have at least one fast lens. BTW, on a side note, "lense" is not a word ;) Roscoe [/QUOTE]
