What lens for the Nikon takes professional looking photographs?

Added (1). I apologise for the lack of detail xD But going on holiday soon to some proper nice place that is proper, so landscape photography and possibly wildlife photography.

Which nikon model did you use.depends on that format.lens is another choice.nikon lens good at auto focus.

Good photographs are down to the photographer. A good photographer can take good pictures with a cheap camera.

The all do - if the camera operator knows what they're doing.

Edit: It would help if you specified what you want the lens for - portraits, landscapes, wildlife, sports?

The question is mute. All Nikkor Lenses are capable of professional results providing the photographer understands light principles and camera use.

Here's an example of a Nikon image taken at Merchants Millpond in Tennessee.

Depends on what you wanna do, portrait? Sport? Etc

Any of the Nikkor lenses

A "professional looking photograph" is dependent upon the photographers skills and experience shooting the subject.

The lens and camera only account for about 10% what produces "professional photos"

The rest is based upon the creativity and experience of the photographer

All of them can.
@Sniper, that's " moot ".

I'll guess that you have a DX camera, since you are asking this question. A nice "do it all" lens from Nikon would be the 18-200 VR lens. This covers pretty much everything, but you might want even more zoom for wildlife. They make an 18-300 that I know nothing about, but I have the 28-300 and really like the lens. It is obviously not as wide as the 18, but 28 isn't terrible for landscape unless you want a real panoramic view.

Just glance at the thumbnails (over 500 of them) to get an idea what range you will get with the 18-200 without changing a lens:

MOST of these 28-300 shots are from a DX camera

As long as you recognise that equipment if useless if you don't posess the skills of handling a system camera.

For landscapes:

DX cameras:
AF-S DX Nikkor 10-24mm f3.5-4.5G ED or Tokina AT-X 11-16mm f2.8 Pro DX-II for large scenes.

FX cameras:
AI Nikkor 20mm f4, AI/AI-S Nikkor 20mm f3.5, AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f2.8, AF-S Nikkor 16-40mm f4, there are simply loads of ultra wide lenses for FX sensors.

You'll also want something like the AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f4G ED VR, which allows you to pick out parts of a scene. Good for DX and FX cameras.

For wildlife:

The best is the AF-S Nikkor 200-400mm f4G IF-ED VR, plain and simple. You could consider the Sigma 150-500mm f5.0-6.3 EX DG OS HSM.
