Top 1 Nikon D3200 Lens is the standard one (kit lens) 18-55mm

The standard lens (Also know as Kit lens) is just great and cool for every day shooting, and good lens to begin white, so i think that all photographers have it because its sell with Nikon D3200 body, while if you don’t have it i recommend you to buy it, it comes in 3 version the old one without VR option (read last article for understand what is mean VR), while second come with VR option and the latest one come with VRII option, so let’s your budget show you which one to buy because the more you pay the more you get more.

Buy Now a kit lens:
- Avoid Nikon 18-55mm ED II (old one close to 90$).
- Nikon 18-55mm VR (close to 190$).
- Suggested: Nikon 18-55mm VR II (close to 240$).

Top 2 Nikon D3200 Lens is Nikkor 35mm 1.8

This lens is champion, i really love it, because it have lot of special things as its focal length that is close to human eyes, that’s mean you can use it always as example in holidays, in school, at home, in garden … also it have one fixed focal length so the way it push you to use this focal length 35mm (no zoom option) and moving to your subject for take the best shoot instead of zooming, make you learn the basic of photography and master shooting, and believe me when you learn how to shoot with open specific focal length you can use any lens in future, so buy this small beast lens and have fun with it.

Top 3 Nikon D3200 Lens is Nikkor 55-200mm

This lens is very popular and you can found it in all shops, because as i said all owner of DSLR cameras have the Standard lens 18-55mm so by owning a 55-200mm they jump to telephoto photography and complete their focal length range to 200mm.

Advice about 55-200mm vs 55-300mm: Not all owner of DSLR cameras go till 300mm, even they don’t go till 200mm, so i always suggest the Nikkor 55-200mm for beginners to telephoto lens, and if you see that you really need more Zoom, go and buy a Prime telephoto lens (i think you will never need lot of zoom and big focal length as 300mm only if you decide to become pro in wild photography or something else).
Pro: Cover a very long focal length from 18mm to 200mm with just two lenses in your bag.

You could Not buy Sigma because its look expansive for you, Don’t feel unlucky, because i found for you a beautiful other all-in-one-zoom lens made by the 3rd party company Tamron, so believe me Tamron do a very beautiful work with this lens, and it’s provide nice quality images while it is 200$ less then Sigma, so imagine how much it could be compare to NIKKOR all-in-one-Zoom lens.
