Hey,
I`m looking to get into digital photography with my wife. My wife already has a Nikon D60 with the 18-55 kit lens that came with it. She wants to get the Nikon AF-S 55-200mm VR DX Zoom-Nikkor F/4-5.6G ED - so I`ll probably get her that for her birthday, which is coming up soon.
Since she`s already on the Nikon system, I will probably be getting a Nikon D90 in the near future, that way, we can more or less share lenses with each other.
My question is: given that we will already own the 18-55 and 55-200 lenses, which ones should I be looking at to expand our lens collection? I`d like to get one (or maybe two) good quality lenses to complement our collection. I don`t need any more zoom at this point.
I was thinking about one or two of the following:
Any recommendations?

I was thinking about one or two of the following:
- A wide angle zoom lens of some sort
- Nikon AF-S 35mm f/1.8 G DX for walk about and indoor / lower light conditions
- Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 for walk about
- Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC MACRO for walkabout / macro
Any recommendations?
