I wandered into this subforum because of a recent acquisition. After reading through a dozen threads I am glad to see that it is just as friendly and helpful as the rest of B&B.
I'm a lifelong Point and Shoot guy (currently have a functioning Nikon Coolpix 8200), but my Father has been a lifelong SLR guy and convinced me to make a change.
Back to the acquisition. I decided to cash in a bunch of gift Mastercards and got a really good deal locally on a Refurb Nikon D5200 body that came with a Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6 ED IF AF-S DX lens, bag, and a 32GB card. A few of the cards were Amazon only, so I also got a Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX lens based on some glowing reviews around the Internet.
Is this a decent setup, or am I really missing out on anything by not having the 18-55 lens?
