what lens would you guys recommend as a complement to the starter lens

my new d40 is sittin in my bosses office ( he forgot to bring it over today) and i just ordered a 4gig SDHC card ... think thats enough?

 

thats like asking to the gun crew to recomend a gun.


What kind of photography are you looking to do? i could recomend a great macro lense but if you hate macro photography... you know the rest give us some details.


And i would recomend you get a couple of memory cards. They fail sometimes and loosing all you pictures at once suck more then just loosing half.

 

i left it broad to see what answers i would get for what guys use the most ...

i have a starter and a 70-200 for my canon at home and i just wondered if a 70-200 is necessary for average photography cuz if so i think imma sell my canon one and get one for the nikon on the cheap ... i dont use my 70-200 too often with the canon as is though soooo yea

 

what tark said. however, most agree that the 18-200VR is the best all around lens. 70-200 isn't useful unless you do a lot of outdoor long range shots like at a track. my least used lens is the 80-400mmvr.

 

Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Lens FTW

another good walk around lens. this lens got great reviews. I will buy one if it ever comes in to stock

 

i think i may get the 18-200 lens ... get rid of my canon stuff and pick that up

 

you should be happy with that one lens for 90% of what you want to do.

 

i want canon 18-200 :hs:

 

I have the 18-55, 55-200 lenses and if I could (money holding me back) I would sell those and buy the 18-200 VR lens. The lenses are WONDERFUL I just do a lot of outdoor indoor switching, and all the lens switching is not good for the internals.
