[QUOTE="Wicked, post: 158845, member: 14627"] Okay so I am going this week to purchase the D5200 and would like to get some lenses to go with it as well. My first DSLR camera was a Canon Rebel XSi with the kit lenses that came with it. I was recently on vacation in Europe and noticed how much better pictures my buddy was taking with his D7000 with Nikon 18-105 lens. So after seeing how much greener it was on the other side (literally) I decided to make the switch. I am leaving for SE Asia in a few weeks and want to get to know this camera and bring lenses that will enable me to print as big of pictures as possible with some of the photos I will be taking to hang in my office/apartment. So I need some lens recommendations. I mainly only shoot landscapes, urban/city stuff, foliage, skylines, lots of night stuff, and I love doing HDR. I don't shoot wildlife, baseball, or anything that requires awesome details at very far distances. I am open to ideas and suggestions but don't want to spend more than about $500-600 on lenses. I am just starting to really get interested in photography and believe that this camera should be the one that makes me enjoy it more. Some things I was thinking: Nikkor 18-200 or Nikon 18-105 and Nikon 35mm f1.8 or Tamron 18-270 or Nikon 55-300 and Nikon 35mm f1.8 [B]BUT I just want your suggestions based on what I typically shoot! Thanks![/B] [/QUOTE]
