Lens purchase

I'm just starting out and was wondering what lens would be a good addition to my kit. I use a Nikon D3000. I have a 18-55mm Nikkor VR lens and a Nikkor 55-200mm VR lens. If you know of any other accessories I might need add that to. Limited budget on lens.

What can't you do with those lenses, that you want to do in future?

What else don't you have?
- tripod
- remote release
- polarising filter
- extension tubes
all useful things, but maybe you don't need any of them.
If you're not taking landscapes, or macros.

The kit lenses you have should cover most photography but for birding, architectural, sports indoor or evening and micro-photography. Birding longer lenses than 200-300mm, Architectural shift/tilt lenses, indoor sports and low light - fast F1.4-F2.8 lenses, micro-photography lenses rated at 1:2 or 1:1, the longer the lens the more working distance.

I personal would purchase the best tripod I could find with in the budget instead of a lens, then if there any funds left a flash unit.

Well for what its worth, the most general purpose, versatile lens I can think of is the 50mm f/1.4~1.8. Excellent range for the variety, tiny, excellent optics and a bargain price. I dont know of any photographer who should be without the nifty fifty. At ~$100 the things disposable too, and will produce better IQ than either of the users current kit lens options.

it depends on what you want to do

I think the least you can spend on a new lens that will autofocus on the D3000 is on
a 35 mm f1.8 afs and it is about 200 dlls

I have this , very small, light and works like a charm in interiors

Thanks all of you for your input.
