The Nikkor AF Zoom 24-85mm f/2.8-4 even has a Macro feature. If you want to start with just one lens, this is a great all-around lens in the mid-range category. The 24-85mm is an extremely fast lens at its widest angle, 24mm and goes to f/4.0 when you zoom the lens to 85mm. It has a macro mode for close-up photography from 35mm-85mm focal length settings. However, you will need to have a super wide-angle lens to cover areas below 24mm and a telephoto zoom lens to cover areas above 85mm.
