Im heading off to South America as a gap year, and im looking to add a lens. All I have is my trusty D5000 and 50mm 1.4. my budget is about £150-200, although I could try stretch to £250 if there is something better in that price frame, what are peoples views on the Nikon 55-200 f/4-5.6, as this lens fits nicely into my price frame?

would you suggest I just get the kit lens and save the rest of my money over getting something like the 55-200. the 70-300 is sadly over my budget.

when its put like that, I figure a some wide glass would probably suite me better. I would mainly be taking pics of landscapes, portraits, I would like to do some wildlife but it wouldn't be my main concern. Would there be a better wide lens for my price range than the kit?

sorry to revive this thread, but I have lumped for a lens yet, I am seriously considering the Tamron 17-50 but I was browsing TP forums and have seen a couple of people mention the Nikon 18-70. How does this lens compare?
