New D7000 Arrives Monday -- What lens?

My new D7000 is on the way and I currently have this lens ...

Amazon.com: Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical IF Macro Zoom Lens with Built in Motor for Nikon DSLR Cameras: Camera & Photo

I use it for storm chasing which allows me to get in close to tornados with zoom or draw back and get the cell. My question is what lens should I get for everyday shooting?

I had thought this one?

Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S DX Nikkor Autofocus 2179

Thanks in advance.

Unless you are unhappy with the 18-270, you already have the 18-105 territory covered. You may want to look into some primes relative to your shooting passion. The new Nikon 40mm 1.8 or the 35 1.8 would be a high quality low cost addition, or a wide angle zoom to cover below 18mm. It really depends on what you like to shoot. The more you tell us, the more we can help .

Thank you for the reply. I am new to photography well at least photography done correctly and just thought there may be a better lens to compliment the D7000. I am taking college level photography classes in the fall and hope to move on to people at some point.

I will look at those lenses you mentioned and others in that range. I will add a wide angle for sure as that really helps while trying to get an entire super cell.

Thanks again.

the 35 1.8 is awesome, also the 70-300 4.5-5.6 works great im using it for lightening shots

You will love your new D7000, it's a great camera

My brother-in-law has that Tamron and it is a good all-round lens with some macro capability. The 18-105 Nikon will not give you anything new.

I'd propose a ultra-wide (sigma 10-20 or Tokina 11-16) if you like to potograph landscape/architecture and a fixed 35mm 1.8 (good for indoor). If you like portraits maybe a 85mm 1.8 can also be an option.

You want an inexpensive all around lens? Go for the Nikon 18-105 VR. I recommend this lens.

I agree with the poster who suggested the 35mm 1.8. I have used a variety of mid level lenses (can't afford pro glass yet), but I purchased the 35 1.8 with the D7000 because of how reasonably priced it was and I love it! I've got the 50mm 1.8 as well as the 85 1.8 and the 35 is the one that stays on my camera the most. Whatever you choose, maybe try something that performs well in low light? With the D7000 and the 35 you can pretty much shoot in the dark.
