Basic kit

[mechawombat]

Cheers for the responses everyone

I am looking at a 18-250 from Sigma or 18-270 from Tamron
but have heard only good things from my mate who has a Nikon 18-200 VR on his D80

Cheers for the suggestions guys

my eventual kit will probably be

11-16mm f2.8
35mm f1.8
50mm f1.8
55-200mm F3.5-5.6
18-2XXmm
50-500mm f4

plus all the extra bits that come with being a photographer

Unless you do portraits I would not bother with the 50mm as it is too long for me on a DX and has barely been used but I can't wait to get it on my D800 body when it arrives. My 50mm 1.4 is a beautiful lens. I've got a 17-35 which is a very nice lens on a DX camera and gets the most use.
