[QUOTE="§am, post: 75474, member: 9187"] I'd say go for as a minimum the 18-55, then decide on whether you need the extra 100mm reach a 55-300 gives over the 55-200. I tried both out in a local shop and came to the conclusion a 55-200 would be sufficient for my needs, and the money I saved between the two I could spend on other things. Call places like B&H Photo, Adorama etc, as I find if you do you can haggle a little more then just buying straight over the net (personal experience, Adorama are likley to give a better offer on the phone). The 18-105 is a good lens, but given the price of a bundled 18-55 in most kits it makes sense to buy one of those instead, in which case getting the 18-105 is not a logical choice as you've already got half your range in the kit lens.
