Hi Guys,
So with my new camera on the way and great advise on which to go for (D5300) i have now done various research and looking around and have sort of decided on the following 2 lenses to get me rolling to fill in gaps to start with.

Nikon 50mm f/1.8 D
Tamron AF 70-300mm

And obviously my camera comes with the stock lens of 18-55

I am planning on doing Wildlife/Airshows(Only 1 i plan to go to atm mind), Doing plants / landscape.

And also plan on using the camera at weddings / special dos.

Cheers

Okay thank you both, I will save for them instead, I am sure the stock lens will do me fine for a month or so while i get the other 2

So as i am going to a wedding this weekend, and read the 35mm is also great for landscapes i have gone for it and it also had cashback offer.

Feel this lens will give me a pretty good cover on what i would like to do except for wildlife which can wait.

Can not wait to start shooting with this

So i am now itching to get the Nikon 55-300mm VR, specially while the nice weather is about so i can do some nice shots.

Fact there's a £25 cashback on it too which brings it down to £237 is tempting.

Really love it, absolutely cracking lens glad i asked here to be told to get that over the 50mm.

The wedding photos came out crisp and stunning, some cracking bokeh is had from the lens

and also did some random scenery shots and they look awesome too below as a example.
