[QUOTE="Infusoria, post: 624461, member: 43731"] Hi there! I'm just another newbie who have just got his first DSLR (D5300) and is now looking for advice :) Maybe someone try and help me if you aren't bored with silly question like this one. So, I've got my D5300 kit with 18-55 AF-P VR I (not II). There's no need to tell you that this lens is rather 'slow' and its focal length range is not that good too. I think maybe I should buy another lens, like 18-140 or something. Sometimes I shoot selfies and landscapes (so I can't use 55-200 only), sometimes I shoot portraits at 50-60mm (so I need better aperture at this focal length). I understand that prime lenses are much faster but I don't want to switch'em (at least, for now, as I learn). I understand that the better quality (aperture & focal length) costs more too and now I can't afford expensive lenses :( So here's the choice I have: 1) Nikkor 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX AF-S 2) Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC Nikon F Can't decide, I would appreciate any help. Thank you for all your time and attention. [/QUOTE]
