Honestly, the kit 18-105 probably covers most of it, but the 35 prime is so great for its price that it's hard to pass it up. I would hold off on the Tamron unless you're absolutely certain you like how it looks and performs and you definitely want/need to get wider than the 18-105 lets you. I don't really like it. I tested it at the shop and found it too soft for my liking when it's wide open. And its wide open isn't terribly wide open. At $500 you should look into the excellent Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 and the solid Nikon 12-24mm. The Tokina would get my vote, but only after determining you really need an ultra-wide.</blockquote>
