What should I clean my SLR lens with?

What lens to buy for my Nikon SLR?

• I've just bought a Nikon D3100 and I got the standard AF-S DX 18-55 VR Lens. My question is what lens would be the perfect lens to compliment the lens I already have? I plan to shoot outdoor nature photos. I am NOT really looking for a macro lens at this moment. Thx

• Answer:

  The lenses mentioned by Secular are very good but also very expensive. The lenses mentioned by Forlorn are budget options... for values of budget that approach a grand. For most people the definition of 'perfect lens' is based on a combination of factors which includes image quality and zoom range, but also a price bracket that matches the rest of their gear - in your case a humbly priced D3100 with the kit lens. So in your case, I recommend the Nikon 55-200mm AF-S tele-zoom. It's the perfect companion lens for the 18-55mm, costs about $190, and is your best option for under $500. If you're willing to spend $500, get the 70-300mm AF-S instead. (Nikon also has a 70-300mm non-AFS version for just $160, but that one doesn't have vibration reduction and, more importantly, it won't auto-focus on the D3100.)
