[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 271048, member: 13090"] These questions you are asking do not come with simple, black and white answers such as "Lens X" or "Lens Y". You need to develop an understanding of some of the basics of how lenses operate, things like focal length and minimum aperture, and then decide for yourself what lens would best suit your needs. I suggest you start here, [URL="http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Learn-And-Explore/Article/g3cu6o2o/understanding-focal-length.html"]Understanding Focal Length[/URL]. For most people, and based on your previous posts, Don is correct in suggesting either the 18-105mm or the 18-140mm. If your budget is $200 or less your options are going to be very limited because good glass is not cheap. The Nikon 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6 would be a good place to start.
