I am not a professional, but of cameras I have just a little idea. Each decries that the kit lenses are bad and you should grab it equal to slightly better. However, anyone who has little money and more on landscape photography leaves than on portraits, then you can not go wrong with an objective of 18-55mm. I take pictures so very happy. Property me later a lens purchased separately (also from Nikon) of 55-300mm and have to say that I still mostly Scan with the smaller zoom. Anyone who is not sure can indeed look at a few photos on my blog [...] All photos taken with Nikon D5200 shooting and most of them with the 18-55mm kit lens
