Your next ideal lens: AF-D Nikon 50mm f/1.8

We often refer this lens to the 'nifty-fifty'. This lens has a fixed focal length of 50mm, just like what our human eyes see. With the low cost of this lens, it makes this a suitable lens for carrying around, street photography, and portrait work. This lens has a maximum aperture of f/1.8 which allows you to give your background a bit of blur, known as bokeh. If you don't mind using 2nd hand equipment, please click here to see the details.

AF-S Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II

This is the world's sharpest 11x power-zoom lens, ranging from wide angle to telephoto. Although this is a consumer lens with a varying aperture, the AF system will still work perfectly at the maximum aperture of f/5.6 @ 200mm. With the VRII system inside the lens, you can even shoot handheld at shutter speed of 1/15, which makes flash and tripod unnecessary when travelling.
