[QUOTE="shl3608, post: 226041, member: 18227"] Hi there, I was given D5100 (body only) as a Xmas gift and I too began practicing with a prime lens (35mm/1.8) and one lens that covered the most range (Nikon 18-300mm) I travel a lot, often to remote locations in the wild for landscape/wildlife pictures and so for me, the 18-300 has been phenomenal. The convenience of not having to switch lenses in the element and getting that spot-on quick focus before the animal decides to shy away in seconds has been absolutely delightful. I tested and seriously considered the Tamron you own before finding a decent price on the Nikon 18-300mm through a rare Nikon rebate. If you're taking this camera for your vacation, perhaps a prime lens for street photography? 18-270mm really covers a lot of ground so something small/light but fast prime lens could be worth the investment. I recently upgraded my prime from 35mm/1.8 to 50mm/1.4g Just a thought ;) [/QUOTE]
