What Lens for Travel Photography?

[gymak90]

I would suggest tamron 17-50 f2.8 or maybe a nikkor 18-135. It's quite hard to tell what kind of shots you will get in Bali, so the safe bet is a 1-size-fit-all lens.

i would bring a wide to mid tele, kinda like the kit lenses

AF-S DX 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED
AF-S DX 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G
AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED
AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED
AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED
AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II
AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR (3.0x)
AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR (5.3x)
AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR (New and not out yet)

then there are 3rd party lenses too

Just curious. What other lenses do you have besides a 50 1.8 that complements your D300?

Will be traveling to Bali soon, currently have a prime lens 50mm F1.8. I guess this one won't be suitable for traveling, which one will be advisable and affordable to get?

50 f1.8 can be used for traveling. Affordable and good has to be 18-70 kit lens. Not too sure if you can still get it new.
