[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 532850, member: 12496"] The Nikon kit lens that typically shipped with the D60 was the Nikon 18-55mm lens. This lens is quite inexpensive, less than $100 new. [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-NIKKOR-18-55mm-3-5-5-6G-Cameras/dp/B000LWJ1ES/ref=sr_1_1?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1455240419&sr=1-1&keywords=18-55+zoom+lens+nikon"]Amazon.com : Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II Zoom Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras : Camera Lenses : Camera & Photo[/URL] There is a newer VR version of it now. VR is a feature which helps to prevent blur due to camera shake when handholding slow shutter speeds. Which can come up fairly often with a f/3.5-5.6 lens. The D60 has no focus motor in the body, which means it needs an AF-S lens to be able to do auto focus. There are better quality lenses, but this 18-55mm is a useful zoom range. The 18mm will be a useful wide angle, like for indoors, and the 55 is a mild telephoto, almost 2x. The trend today would be more like 18-105mm or 18-200mm. [/QUOTE]
