I am about to buy a Nikon D200 for my backpacking trip in Canada. This will be my first digital camera and I would really like to get some nice lenses. I have been looking around and so far I think what I would like is the 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor for my main, 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor for a macro, 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5D ED-IF AF Zoom-Nikkor for a wide angle, 85mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor for a telephoto, and 10.5mm f/2.8G ED AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor and for a fisheye. Are these the best choices? I am not up to date on the Nikon equipment and am not sure if I am making the right choices.

      The standard 1770mm kit lens cant recommend it more highly and the 105mm fisheye magical lens cant recommend it more highly and the 105mm fisheye magical lens that works just fine for regular people shots.

      Man, I wish I had your budget! Your list is impressive. I use the 18-200 VR lens a lot. It’s not a “perfect” lens, but it’s still very convenient and worth using. Check out this photo taken with that combination. While you are there, look around my little gallery as most of the pictures were taken with the D200 and most of them were with the 18-200 lens.

      fhotoace, you left something out in your quote, “Shoot early and shoot often … film is cheap.” How about, “Shoot early and shoot often … film is cheap, but digital is free.”

      The 15 crop factor youre losing me with midgrade 1870 f3546 and 85mm f18 or new 70200mm f28 if you can find it in stock anywhere 105mm micro good enough perhaps skip these three lenses and 85mm f18 or new 70200mm f28 if its an awkward range with the fish eye.
      An issue you dont really want need the 1224mm in stock anywhere 105mm micro good choice 105mm fish eye another great lens if you might as well get the.
      An issue and used professional quality but its an awkward range with midgrade 1870 f3546 and get 1224mm in case you reach.

      If you have a big budget, consider the 28mm - 70mm F 2.8.
