Advise Needed?

You might also want to consider a Nikon 35mm f1.8 AF-S DX. It's small and light and I keep it on my D7000 all the time.

For your cropped DX sensor like mine it equates to roughly a 50mm normal/standard lens. As others said just use your feet to zoom in and out.

Agree, 35 would be my pick .... 50 might feel a bit tight

In any case, the 18-55 kit lens is actually pretty suitable already for your requirements

Consider sigma 30mm f1.4 grey set at ddelectronics seems cheaper

I second the 35mm DX f1.8. 50mm might be a bit tight indoors
