[QUOTE="salukfan111, post: 516335, member: 39212"] Many people feel this a great astrophotography lens so a few here should have it. Many also feel the nikkor 18-140mm is pretty good for beginners. The nikkor 18-35mm is pretty awesome. Before you get too deep into this hobby be warned that the inexpensive camera you have is going to cost you a fortune on future lens purchases. The screw drive D7xxxx cameras will allow you to buy older screw drive pro level lens for a tiny fraction of what the current version would be. At this point the D3xxx and D5xxx simply exist to get people to save a few hundred upfront and then extract 1000s on overpriced lens moving forward. Get your upgraded lens, enjoy you camera, and before plunking down 1000s for the additional lens you'll need switch to a D7xxx (after doing a lot of research and reading stuff here). Just a few weeks ago you could have landed a D7100 for under 500 dollars (don't panic deals like that pop up all the time). If you had a D7000 or D7100 I could rattle off a ton of dirt cheap lens that would blow your kit lens away. [/QUOTE]
