Okay, so I am about to pull the trigger on the Nikon D3300 that comes with a 18-55mm VRII lens and a 55-200mm lens. As mentioned in previous posts, this will be my first DSLR camera. My budget is quite limited since I am trying to save up for a western vacation next year with the family. I can quickly see how this can be an addicting hobby and I am already interested in getting another lens with my purchase. I am torn between two choices:
1) Nikon 35mm f/1.8g (which I understand is great for portraits)
2) Tamron 70-300mm VC (which I understand is great for zooming)
With the exception of next year's planned vacation to the Grand Canyon, Yosemite National Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, most pictures will be taken at family events (birthdays, lake parties, etc...), school sporting events (downhill skiing, track), and probably of New England foliage now that I will have a real camera. With that said, which lens (if either) would you recommend? Or will the kit lenses be all I need?
