Nikon lenses everyday photography?

I just got the d5100 body and have 700$ for lenses, i would like to do portrait, landscape and some micro. What would you recommend?

Added (1). I said 700$ for lenses: S i never said i want a single lens for everything,

seems like you need to learn how to read.

Nikkor 50 mm f1.8

Landscape I'd say start with the 18-55. Put te rest towards the 60mm micro. Make sure you get the AF-s version.

The best single lens solution is probably the 18-200 mm VR lens. I use it for about 80% of my editorial photography

But then you add, portrait, landscape and micro (macro) in the mix

Those usually require three different lenses. A 50 mm f/1.8 for portrait, a super wide angle lens like the 10-24 mm zoom for shooting landscapes and a 60 mm f/2.8 for shooting macro.

There's NO one lens you can use to shoot all three of those subject types.

Just make sure any lens you do buy is an AF-S lens if you want auto-focus when mounted on your fine D5100

Actually, there's a single lens solution for what you're looking for. It's the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC Macro.

On a cropped sensor like what your camera has, the focal range (approx.equivalent of 25mm - 105mm) makes for a great everyday walk around zoom so can shoot landscapes and portraits. With the macro at the short end, you can shoot your flowers and bugs. This is a reasonably well-built lens that outperforms the regular Nikon kit lenses and falls within your budget.

The disclaimer here is that prime lenses will cost a little more but will render superior results in the end. While a little over your $ 700 budget you might want to consider a Nikon 35mm f1.8, the Nikon 50mm f1.8 and the Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro.

While not too terribly wide on the Nikon, the 35 is a reasonably decent wide(ish) lens, the 50mm is sharp as a tack & a good portrait lens. The Tamron not only is a sharp portrait lens, it is the "King of bokeh" when it come to macro with smooth, buttery out of focus backgrounds. These three lenses will probably set you back about a little better than $900 plus taxes but possibly within your budget if you can find them on something like craigslist.

Portrait, landscape and MACRO require different lenses and different ideas…

yes you can get a 24-70mm f/2.8 and get away with portrait and landscape but not macro…

or a 50mm f/1.4 and do portrait and landscape (sort of)…

or a 90mm f/2.8 macro lens that will do macro and portrait…

sounds like you need to learn about photography basics first…
