Any Nikkor ED lens you can afford would be a good start. I tried a couple of different lenses (non-Nikon) when I got the first camera and didn't like the results at all. Start with a basic all-around-use lens from Nikon. For that matter, if you are buying the kit, the lens that comes with it is just fine for general use. Put a few thousand shots through it and decide what you need from there. Most people buy a wide-angle lens soon after they grow out of the kit lenses, but expect to pay at least $400.00 for a decent WA lens. Good lenses are closer to the $1,000 range, and great lenses are close to $1,200 and up.
