It really comes down to your budget.. For just starting off, I would just look for a nice mid range lens. Maybe like a 35mm Prime lens and then maybe like a 24-85? Either that or just bite the bullet and pull the trigger on a 24-70. Just my .02.. Not very familiar with Nikon
I'm a Canon guy too. Not sure if Nikon has the equivalent of the 24-105L With image stability, but that's something I would recommend. It's a good lens with nice focal range. Not as sharp as a prime or 24-70, but a great lens if that's all you're going to carry or start. I love prime lenses, but I know that's not everyone's cup of tea.

OP: There are a lot of places that rent lenses out for $25 a day. Try them all out and see what fits your shooting style.
