Answer 1

It depends on what you like to shoot. If you like to shoot landscapes then a wide angle lens like the 12-24mm would be good. If you like to do sports then a telephoto zoom lens would be good. There are a bunch of these in all price ranges from about $200 to several thousan dollars. A good start would be the 55-200 that the other answerer mentioned or a 70-300mm lens.

If you want to do portraits then a 50mm F1.4 or 1.8 prime lens would be great. The 50mm F1.8 is a bargain at about $100. It is a good length for portraits and general photography and is great in low light due to the large aperture.

There are so many different lenses. Tell us what you like to shoot and what your budget is and we could be much more specific.

Answer 2

the 55-200 AF-S VR would be the next lens or if you want to go longer the 70-300 is a good choice. What do you want to shoot that is how you pick lenes.
