I use my nikon 18-55mm for long shots, and a nikon 70-300mm for my lightning captures. picked it up from an electronics store for less than it is worth - $300. using the D3000, and am still getting the hang of ISO settings.apocalypse » Wed Feb 15, 2012 11:00 pm wrote:apocalypse wrote:I'm still using the D3000.

I do use the 18-55mm kit lens occasionally, but I recently bought a Tamron 18-200mm lens which does the job. The extra focal length is quite handy, although there is a small amount distortion at the longer lengths, but nothing substantial.
