Ok I am looking to get a macro,fisheye, wide angle and something for "general" use. What is meant by fast or slow lens? I am trying to not spend more than $1300 on any one lens. Fixed or zoom? When should you use one over the other? I will mainly be shooting during the day but would like something that I can take pictures of the stars with and if using a separate lens for that is best than that is what I will do. I don't really take pictures of indoor sports. The only indoor shooting I would be doing would be for things like my daughters school plays etc. So let the suggestions begin.
There's a lot of queries there!
And a lot of options as well.
First of all, you would need to figure out what you want to shoot.
I understand the NAS bug which makes you want everything out there.

That's 3 lenses right there.. and a gamut of choices for the 3..
are you looking at nikon or other brands too?
recommendations-
Wide angle - tokina 11-16 or sigma 10-20
macro - nikon 105mm 2.8g
fisheye - nikon 16mm 2.8D
What is meant by fast or slow lens?
This question makes me want to suggest that you do a bit of learning
before you can buy any lens.
Very basic concept & without understanding this, anything you buy wouldn't really do much justice.

Again, this demands a lot of reading & shooting to determine what YOU need.
There are both types available out there cos people have different preferences.
A prime generally offers better quality (subjective considering today's optics) but a zoom or tele-photo offers more versatility.
remember that longer the range of a lens, the trade off is definitely going to be in the quality.

My suggestion would be to get a 35mm or a 50mm 1.8g lens, very inexpensive to get you started.
or maybe even a 18-105mm lens..
from there you'll soon realize what you prefer
