Which lens would you prefer for Nikon DX format for eg Nikon D5100?

A god advice from a good professional/advisor/friend for a good cam like Nikon DX format D5100. A macro lens is my 1st preferance ranging from 0$ - 270 $ and also some other lensthat lies in my budget ( 2nd prefferance is a wide lens but I'm not much into landscape photogrphy so would also like to know other lenses )!

Don't know of a macro lens for that budget. You might check into used lenses. My favorite lens is the multipurpose Tamron 18-270mm PZD lens, but it runs closer to $650.
