Selection of lenses

[Chandan Pathak]

Hi, I am planning to buy Niko D5200 with 18-55 mm lense. Additionally what other lenses shall I buy considering the following:

1. I do primarily portrait and landscape photography
2. Mostly outdoor and still photogaphy.
3. I do photography only as hobby and I am not an expert.
4. Someone suggested that I should go for 10-24mm or 10-22 mm or 10-20 mm lense and a 50 mm prime focus lense.

For portraits, suggest a long lens around 85 mm. Long lens tends to give better looking portrait shots.

For landscapes, and depending on how wide a shot is wanted, generally suggest a wide angle zoom around 10~24 mm, in addition to the standard zoom 18~55 mm.
