I m planning to buy 50mm lens, 18-140 and 55-300 lens along with Nikon D7100 body.. Is that the right choice?

I would just buy the 18-140 as it is the one you would use the most. Later you could consider what additional lenses you would like to buy. A 50mm is a mild telephoto on a DX body so you might be better off buying the 35mm f1.8 instead. The 70-300mm VR is a better lens and there is less overlap with the 18-140. You see quite a few good used 70-300mm VR's for sale at reasonable prices because a lot of people buy them and then later discover they don't have much need for a lens that long.

Dragoneer makes some really good points, particularly about go slow an buy quality. Master one lens before getting another. Personally, I think this is the best lens to start with due to its quality and versatility. Once you have a taken a lot of shots, you can determine from how you shoot what the next lens should be (if you even need another). If you find yourself in a lot situations where you wish the could go wider, get a 10-24mm zoom; if you find you're cropping a lot of shots when zoomed all the way in, get the 70-300 (if you have the 18-140, don't get anything that only goes to 200 unless you want to drop some $$ on something faster). This a lens you can keep on your camera and be ready for almost anything. With a wide zoom, mid prime and telephoto zoom, you'll have the ranges covered, but will likely be changing lens a lot. If you want another lens for a DX format camera - the 35mm 1.8 is fantastic and an extreme bargain - super-sharp, great for low-light and terrific for experimenting with shallow depth of field. If I could only keep 2 of my lenses, it would be this one and the 35mm.

I own a D7100 and use 4 lens on it, The 18-300mm is a little heavy but it's a "Can Do" lens for most things. Add the 10-24mm and you can really open a lot of WIDE doors. The 50mm f/1.4G is Awesome at night, you won't believe how great your shoots are. I also have the 35mm, great for a light weight great shooting day. These 4 you won't miss anything.

I agree that 70-300 VR is a superior choice, but certainly have not been disappointed with my 55-300 VR. It didn't cost as much either.

I suggest to check the kenrockwell.com a free site with a lot of information about lenses and cameras and other stuff!

Yes this will work with D7100.. But may i know what is your motivation behind the 18-35mm.. i would suggest based off that...

If you can afford the excellent 300mm lens, I suggest you invest further by buying a D600 camera body. Your DX lenses will function on it too.

18-55 and 55-250 lenses are highly recommended despite being cheap, it's good to supplement with a luminous lens, eg 50mm f/1.8. The wide-angle and telephoto are trash, the discarded

Without knowing exactly what you are photographing, I would give it a qualified yes. However, if you are going to be photographing from a distance, then the kit lens of 18-55mm is not going to fill your needs. Depending on distance, you may need something like an 18-135mm or for even greater distance, something like the 55-300mm lens. Beyond that, you'll be looking at large aftermarket lenses in the 150-500mm range.

Another option is getting the 50mm 1.8 for about a hundred bucks. Takes great shots and you can still buy the 28-135. I bought my 28-135 used and love having both lenses.

I think it will be quite secure. I've usedit with a D7100 ans the 18-200 lens. Not as heavy but should still work fine with your outfit.

I would say more than likely YES. I upgraded from the D7000 to D7100 and it still fits with the Nikkor 18-200mm lens. I would assume that your 18-140 is shorter.

while the 10-30 and 30-100 are very good. I bought the 10-100 lens for the easy of having one lens to deal with. the nikon 1 series camera has a fast autofocus so i didn't want to slow down by changing lens.

The D50 is compatible with all AF and DX lenses. The 55-300mm is a DX lens.

Yes, but this is a full frame lens. On the D7100 this is approximately a 28-55mm because of the 1.57 multiplier factor.

I have a Nikon D3100 with the 18-140mm lens and it just fits. You should have no problem with the 18-55mm lens.

It depends on the lenses. Today lenses have plastic bodies, Up to 300 mm they should be no problem, I guess. I am considering both, but for other reasons, and I am waiting for a good sale. I saw a Zcostco offer of 60D with a 55-250 (? maybe,) lens at a good price.

Congrats on the D5000 (and both great lenses you have). Be sure and get that 35mm down the road, believe me it will probably be the best 200$ you'll ever spend if you do any shooting indoors. I have tons of other lenses (including a 50mm f/1.4) so I held off for a while on getting the 35mm f/1.8, once I did finally get it I was kicking myself for not getting it sooner, it's that good. Happy shooting.

Actually I have the same question... However, based on the reviews I have seen so far, I think I will go for the 18-135mm. Everybody recomends the good range that it provides, and buying it individually it becomes an expensive lens. On the other hand the 18-55mm will force the need for having an extra zoom.

If I were to purchase the D3000, which I be okay with the lense that it comes with? Or should I buy the 55-200 right out of the gate?

Your 55mm lens will require a 58mm filter size and your 300mm lens will require a 77mm filter size, both can be found here on amazon
