The 70-300 f4.5-5.6G with VR is my favourite, if a little heavy, I also have a 50mm 1.8D prime and a 35-80 f4-5.6Dfrom my film camera.

I was a little disappointed with the 28-70 f3.5-4.5 "macro" so that is back up for sale.

I will probably look for a wide angle lens - any suggestions?

The AF-S 18-35mm f3.5-4.5G ED is a very competent performer, despite being almost 1/3 of the price of the 'pro' version (17-35).

I used one before I foolishly decided to 'go pro'. It took 3 rejections before I got a 17-35 that was (marginally) better than the 18-35. I sold my 18-35  to a friend (he's still got it after 25years!). If I hadn't burnt my bridges I would have stuck with it. But having got rid of all my Nikon gear when I went to Fuji, and now full circle back with Nikon....I have another 18-35. ;-)

If you don't want to go new, I am sure you will find preowned at even better prices.
