At the moment, my "common focal lengths" lens is the Nikon 18-55mm kit lens.It would be nice to get something with some more length (At least 70mm but preferably longer). Having 18mm is nice, but a little less wide wouldn't be a big issue. I'd also like it if it were possible to get a wider aperture. Obviously I'd rather have a low price, minimal weight and great image quality but I know you can't have everything. What do you think is my best option if I had, say, a max budget of a little over a thousand dollars.
