    would suggest a 28-80 good range should not be hard to get some second hand ones as most people have gone digital,Nikon prob best but sigma are also good also a good flash as well,check out adverts,gumtree,ebay etc.am just an amateur myself so only my opinion Happy Shooting!

    Id recommend getting a 50mm f1.8 nikon lens, they generally go for about 100 euro or slightly less. On a film camera they are a good focal length for general use. If you want a 28-80mm zoom lens conns cameras have a few used ones for 75 euro.

    You're in pretty good stead if you're looking for a normal (not too wide, not too tele) lens for a Nikon film body.

    If you want to spend as little money as possible, a 50mm f/1.8 is an excellent and cheap lens that costs about €100 new and can probably be found for a little less used.

    If you feel like spending a little more money, you can get either the slightly faster 50mm f/1.4 or the slightly wider 35mm f/2; both cost around €300 new.

    They're all great lenses and are pretty much perfect for general photography with a film camera like yours and can be used in a wide variety of situations.
