What lens to get?

[KSchwagg86]

Hi all... I have a Nikon D40 with just the regular starter lens. I was wondering if any of you could give me some information about other types of lenses that you would recommend--whether it be great zoom, or cool effects--any suggestions?

TIA!

We can give many suggestions, but only you can really answer the question. Tell us what you feel like you are not accomplishing with your current lens.

Well, it def doesn't zoom enough... And sometimes my pics are blurry (without flash)

For more range, look at something like a 50-200mm or up to 300mm. I do not know the Nikon models, but there are a number of options. For low light, their new 35mm f/1.8 is popular, but sometimes difficult to find I believe. The typical 50mm f/1.8 will not autofocus on your camera, but can still manual focus.
