It is fun and addictive, but looking back, I wish I had rather invested time shooting with my kit lenses to find their limits and my interests.Of the cheap lenses I have, the best value for me is the 55 f3.5 Micro, especially paired with a Pk-13 tube for extreme close-ups. The 75-150 f3.5 Series E is another sleeper, with useful focal lengths in the portrait range and a constant aperture in a compact package (watch out for loose zoom rings through). Both are generally available used for under $50, and should be relatively easy to resell if you need to.</blockquote>
