Nikon offered it as a kit with the 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED VR II zoom. (See Figure
11.3.) However, the body was also readily available for many purchasers who, like me,
fall into one of the following categories: Those who are upgrading from the Nikon
D300, from a Nikon film camera, or who are buying the D7000 as a second camera
body to complement their more advanced DX model, or even as an adjunct to their
full-frame camera. These owners, too, generally have lenses they can use with their new
D7000.
So, depending on which category you fall into, you’ll need to make a decision about
what kit lens to buy, or decide what other kind of lenses you need to fill out your com-
plement of Nikon optics. This section will cover “first lens” concerns, while later in the
chapter we’ll look at “add-on lens” considerations.
