You should indicate the lenses you already have. Without that information I'd suggest the 70-300mm vr and the 105mm macro. For macro, in general the more telephoto the lens the better to avoid getting too close to a live subject and scaring it away.

:thumbup: Both great lenses and neither will break the bank. Great suggestions ecobin!

I have both those... the 60 and the 85...just remember the 85 is a DX version but it also has VR.

It really depends on what you have and what you need and what photos you hope to get - wildlife, sport.........
Then indicate the price range you can manage and you may get useful advice from members.
Otherwise you could be advised to spend a small fortune on a lens that would be of little use to you.
