It depends on the make of the lens and the mount type. Newer Canon lenses have an EF mount while Nikon lenses have a Nikkor mount. Though you can purchase conversion kits to put a Canon lens on a Nikon and vice versa.
Yes, when using a 35mm format film, the 50mm prime lens is considered a "normal" or "natural view" lens. This does not hold true when using a Digital SLR camera (DSLR) because the sensor for most cameras is not 35mm size (36 by 24mm). Entry level and enthusiast level DSLRs often have sensors that are about half size (18 mm wide) and therefore the 50mm lens is equivalent to a slight zoom. A 35mm or 28mm prime lens is closer to that natural view. Some of the more expensive DSLR cameras have a full size sensor and thus have the same magnification and characteristics of the 35mm film camera.
It depends on the range of the zoom, the size of the film format, and to some degree, the opinion of the photographer. For 35mm cameras, 50mm is considered "normal", and any lens that goes from about 50% shorter AND longer than that can be consdered a zoom that works as both wide and telephoto. An example of this school of thought is a 28mm - 80mm lens. However, for some people, that is not extreme enough to qualify. There are some "superzooms" that range from wide-angle to telephoto in the same lens - the 18-200mm range is available from Nikon and Sigma.
the lens zooms from 18 toi 55 milimetres.
i would advise a 18 55 lens and a 18 70 lens. They are good beginner lenses in low light but i would advise an 18 135, 18 200, 70 300

You can purchase a Nikon 18-135mm lens online or in store at Target. You can also go to your local camera store to check out the lens the carry in stock if they don't have it at the moment they should be able to order one in for you.
18 is.
Yes. Or the new AF-s 35mm f1.8 and the 50mm f1.8 for about the same price as the 50mm f1.4. A good lens mostly and a wide range, my 18-200mm is slow and a little soft in low light and a little distorted all around. The 50mm is a short telephoto on DX sensors and the 35mm is a "normal" with almost no distortion and I believe three stops faster (allows more light to pass through the lens) or the difference between ISO 800 and ISO 200 with the same amount of light. With Digital as with film as the ISO goes up the noise and grain increases. Or you could increase the shutter speed to prevent motion blur from a moving subject. The VR function of the 18-200mm eliminates most blur from camera shake but has no effect on subject motion. A faster shutter speed allows a smaller amount of subject motion to be captured so blur is reduce. Wikipedia defines f-number as: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F_stop
Yes! Manual focussing is easy and that is a great lens.
