The kit lens....18-55 is a decent lense. If I were you though I would buy the 5200 and an 18-105. An 18-105 refurb will cost 199. The reason for the 18-105 is because while not super fast nor super sharp....it will still produce some great images. And is more useful than the 18-55. The 105 macro is also a great macro lens. Fast zooms will set ya back a bit in cost. Primes would be another thing to consider. But I would be sure to get an 18-105 and at least a 50mm to 85mm prime. And then your macro. With those 3 lenses you can do a lot while learning the ropes. The reason I suggest a prime in there is they are faster and make a better portrait lens than most budget zooms. But speed is the main thing.</blockquote>
