[QUOTE="jdeg, post: 27037, member: 1"] [b]Re: NewB Lens question[/b] Hey Mike - welcome to Nikonites! I have the 35mm and, to be honest, it wouldn't be good for travel. The 35mm is better for portraits and things where you don't have to move a lot. For travel you need a more flexible zoom. Depending on your budget and what you plan on taking pics of, I would take a look at the 10-24mm ($800 - good if you're taking pics of buildings and/or landscapes - see my blog) Or if you want something with more zoom check out the 18-105mm ($365) or 18-200mm ($600). With either of these lenses you wouldn't need to bring the 18-55. Keep in mind that Sigma and Tamron make similar lenses that are similar in focal length that are usually 1/2 to 3/4 of the cost of nikkor lenses. [/QUOTE]
