[QUOTE="aroy, post: 675215, member: 16090"] I would personally get . 35mm F1.8DX . 200-500 F5.6 I find that the kit 18-55 is a very good lens and till you get better lenses (primes at wide and long end) it will serve the need for general photography. You can always correct for lens distortion and vignetting in post production. You need at least one F1.8 lens for low light. The 35mm is a brilliant lens for its price. The 200-500 will meet your needs for bird shots. Birding is one area where you never have enough focal length. Avoid zooms with a wide zoom range, as they are never as good as ones with shorter zoom range, their main utility is for occasions when you want to travel light with one lens only. If you feel that 200-500 is out of budget then get the 70-300 dx is a good buy, but at 300mm it is quite short for birding, and it will be wiser to save for and buy the 200-500mm. [/QUOTE]
