what next?

ok, so i have my new nikon d80 and the AF-S nikkor 18-200mm vr lens. now i want to look into my next lens.

an idea of what i like to shoot... mainly people, animals, nature, wildlife, close-ups. not too many landscapes or buildings. im getting more into engagement/wedding/family photography.

my budget is limited right now, but i need something more - so im looking for something that will do minor damage to the credit card. but by this spring i should be able to afford another lens, one thats bigger 'n better...

any suggestions?

I agree on the 50mm and the 1.4
You will be very impressed.

It gathers light like you would not believe and it is VERY sharp.

GET THE 1.4 !!!!!!

Forgot to mention.. the DOF at 1.4 50mm is GREAT GREAT FUN
