oh...i thinking to buy 35mm f/1.8 for portrait.
Zoom 1 maybe use 55-200VR ba...but what is this two market price?
thanks for sharing info...gd luck guys
I own a D5000 myself and below are the lens I would get.
D5000 already comes with a nice kit lens 18-55mm AF-S VR.
You can compliment it with the 55-200mm AF-S VR lens for your tele requirements.
24-70mm AF-S is of course a very good choice if budget is not an issue, the other option would be the 18-200mm AF-S VR f4-5.6.
Hope this helps
Actually I would buy the 55-200 instead of 55-300. That 100mm does not make much difference, so it does not really justify that price increase, especially when it is optically the same. If I wanted to get the 55-300 I would rather top up a bit more to get the better 70-300 lens, which can also be used on FX.
If i also looking for the Wide Angle lens. what is better? for scenery shot~~
Tokina 11-16mm would nicely complement your kit lens. If you need more range then you can get the Nikkor 10-24mm.

TS, I have the D5000 also and the lens I got was more budget conscious.
The 18-105 is the kit lens from the D90 which I got from another CSer, which was brand new. I find that the 18mm has less distortion than the 18-55. At the 105 end its pretty comfortable for some mid-range zoom. And it feels pretty good on the D5000.
The Tamron F2.8 I use for low light or indoors. I called it now my 'Museum lens' coz no flash is allowed in the museum and the 28-75 range is quite comfortable, despite it being a FX lens.
Both lens are almost identical in size with the Tamron being slightly heavier. So I know how it fits in the bag and on the D5000 and best of all they share the same 67mm filter size.
You cannot go wrong with the DX 35mm F1.8. If you decide not to get any of the above lens, get this one. Put it on the D5000, switch it to P-mode and Live view, and you have a perfect point and shoot. Anyone with no slr experience can come up with nice pics, minus the flash. Trust me, I did it before.
Anyway, thats my 2-cents worth. Enjoy your D5000, its a great cam, Im still enjoying mine. Cheers! and have a Happy 2011!
