what camera lenses do you use for what kind of photography...
i am interested in getting a DSL camera and have been looking at the nikon D60, which comes with a 18-55mm lens i think...
im just looking at the moment not going to buy for months...
anyway just wondering what lens sizes cover what kind of photography...
i want to take it traveling with me, so thinking of photographing landscapes and buildings and stuff... and people, but im also interested in macro photography... do you need a special lens for that? sites i've found on google are a bit confusing...

Yeah, if you want to do macro, get a macro lens. Or, you can get attachments if you want to do it cheaply.

For everyday use, you can just use your run of the mill 18-55mm. A good 28-300mm or something of the sort is a good all rounder too.
