The 18-55 is surprisingly good Bob - I think it deserves the award of best kit lens ever! The D300 seems to like it to, esp the faster end 
Moonie - I really like the sigma lens - some of those shots are ace, and it would be awesome for portraits. I just figured that and the 105 would cost about the same as the 17-55... seems like they were made for you

Unless someone says it's really bad, I do think the Sigma lens and the 50mm are going to be my first lenses, makes sense.Then as soon as possible get the 105mm. As I do love macro .
I was looking at wide angle lenses for landscapes, and they are just as confusing. The trouble with deciding on Nikon,...... too much choice
I saw some lenses I am unfamiliar with, Tokina?
Bob- I have read that the 18-55 kit lens is really good too I have discovered Ken Rockwell too
Thanks for all your help and advice guys,xxx

I will always love my Oly though!
Your'e right though, it is going from not much choice, to sooooo many choices it's a bit bewildering TBH
I have 100% decided on the D300 too, unless the D700 drops absolutely loads
