And its always better to go w/ FX glass since besides possible future upgrade, they only use the sweet middle of the lens and you get better corner-to-corner sharpness. Plus they're designed more for serious enthusiasts instead of beginners like 18-anything DX kit lenses- lots don't even have a metal mounting plate to the camera body, so gotta be careful not to lean/smack it too hard by accident.</blockquote>
