[QUOTE="Bill16, post: 342025, member: 15356"] What is your favorite type of subject? What do like to shoot the most? I would start with that type of lens first. For an example, say your favorite type of shots was macro. Then I would suggest skipping the 85mm micro and get the nikkor AF 105mm F/2.8 micro D lens instead, since it is a better lens in my opinion that will give you super sharp photos at a reasonable price. :) Trying to buy a complete kit all at once on a budget, may leave you feeling unsatisfied with some if not all your lens choices. Also when considering a wildlife lens your likely going to want a lens that will go up to 400mm or better, which I learned was the case for me. Anyway a good wildlife lens can be pretty costly even used. I got lucky I think to get a Nikkor AF 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 vr ed D lens for $647.00 and the prices go up from there on these wildlife lenses. Anyway you get the idea.
