[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 810552, member: 50197"] I agree that I wouldn't look to adding the 18-55. As to where to go next with lenses, that depends on what type of photography you are drawn to. At this point, you may well not know. For most a tele zoom would be the logical choice. There are a couple 70-300 zooms that are decent lenses and will cover all the way out to long enough for decent wildlife photography on a crop frame camera. If you don't need that much reach, the 18-140 you have may well be all you need for a while. Lenses are generally a longer term investment that camera bodies. I would chose more carefully, and opt for better quality on a lens than a camera. As to whether you did good with the D5300, I am a firm believer in starting off with something affordable, but reasonably capable, until you learn enough to know what you need, and can afford. As long as it is in decent shape, I would think the D5300 should fit the bill nicely. [/QUOTE]
