To be realistic, though, if you want a wide zoom + tele zoom + macro, you could do worse than (wex prices)

Sigma 10-20 £369
Tamron 70-300 VC £289
Tamron 90mm £348

That comes to £1006. You may be able to spend £200 less on the telezoom, but you'll probably wish you hadn't. You may be able to get the wide zoom & macro secondhand, but how much you save and how much grief they give you can vary considerably.

Your kit lens or telezoom may be good enough for the model shots. You kit zoom may be wide enough for landscapes, especially if you consider muli-shot panoramas. This is why I recommend fiding out what you can't do with your current kit before buying more.
