[QUOTE="hark, post: 740498, member: 13196"] If you aren't looking to carry too much weight, I would suggest the Nikon 24-120mm f/4 VR lens which is a kit lens for the FX bodies. It's quite good. That should cover you for people and places of interest. I don't think the other lens I want to suggest is being made anymore. It's the Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR. Here is a link to Nikon's site that supposedly has it for sale. Please note this ISN'T the AF-P lens. It is an AF-S lens. You might be able to find a nice pre-owned copy.
