I am about to buy a Nikon D200 for my backpacking trip in Canada. This will be my first digital camera and I would really like to get some nice lenses. I have been looking around and so far I think what I would like is the 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor for my main, 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor for a macro, 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5D ED-IF AF Zoom-Nikkor for a wide angle, 85mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor for a telephoto, and 10.5mm f/2.8G ED AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor and for a fisheye. Are these the best choices? I am not up to date on the Nikon equipment and am not sure if I am making the right choices.

I’m seeing some really good deals on used Nikon D200’s right now because the D300 is out. I’m wondering if that would be a better bet long term than the D40x or D80 for my first Nikon DSLR because of the durability. Any thoughts on whether it would be too advanced for just starting out? Or could I grow into it pretty quickly?
