Hello, I'm new to this forum and new to photography compared to you guys. Just wondering if anyone can advise on a decent general purpose lens for an upcoming family wedding. I've just got a second hand Nikon D90 body only.

Hi

Welcome to TP. Might be worth start your own thread with the same question.

Or, even Better - I can magically put it into it's own new thread, in the correct area of the forum, and hopefully someone who uses Nikon kit can actually give you an answer @Raja Saeed :)
 
The classic 'standard' lens for the D90 is Nikon's 16-85mm. Looks like they're around £240 upwards secondhand. I had one for a good number of years and was never disappointed with the results.
 
Can't argue with those two recommendations but my most used lens on my D90 was the 35mm 1.8 - great for everything, small and light.
 
Thank you for moving the thread.

With regards to lens, I would also go with the Tamron 17-50 non vc, but if you are happy with primes then the 35mm is a good lens.

If you give us a budget you may get more recommendations.

Also what lens do you already have, depending on the venue it may be beneficial to invest in a flash if it is mainly indoors and you already have a lens.
