As for the glass – I would start with the best prime you can afford. You are looking at cropped sensors, so I would stick with a 28mm. Nothing longer than a 35mm. I made the mistake of starting with a 50mm as my first lens and had a hard time with everything “looking” the same – crushed background with zero ability at getting wide enough.
You will have a better selection of shot choices with a wider lens. Not too wide or you will experience distortion close up.
