Nice to see you posting.
My lenses are very much tools, it depends entirely on what I am doing as to which lens I use. Currently my most used lens is my 18-105mm VR, DX lens. My only VR and AFS lens. I am finding the 18-105 mm range is perfect for snapshots and family photography.
Much of my photography is done with my 55mm f2.8 MF Micro Nikkor, because one of my main photographic interests is flowers and I find that is the best tool for the job. A wide aperture to give a nice bokeh, manual focus, so I can control the exact part of the flower to be sharp, and what I consider to be a good perspective for a close image of a flower. Wide lenses accentuate the depth of the flower, longer lenses give too great a working distance.
For sports I reach for my 300mm f2.8 MF Nikkor. I use it for motor and motorcycle racing and fieldsports like football and Rugby.
An example from the D3100 with it's 18-105 Nikkor, The boys larking on their way to school one snowy morning recently.
