What lenses should I buy for the nikon d3300?

If you're not sure yet what you'll shoot, start with a Nikon AF-S DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II. It covers everyday walking-around shots, and the VR (vibration reduction) matters because the D3300 has no stabilisation in the body.

Then add a Nikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8G. It's a small, cheap prime that's great for portraits and low light, and it works well with the D3300's crop sensor.

If you want reach for wildlife, kids' sport or distant subjects, the Nikon AF-S DX 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR II is a sensible second zoom.

Every lens on the D3300 is listed on its camera page, with full-frame equivalents. Stick to DX-badged lenses, or check the focal lengths carefully if you go for a full-frame lens.
