[QUOTE="emm2600, post: 204990, member: 15763"] I would generally agree to skip the DX lenses in a case like this but the 18-55 is really hard to not recommend even at the worst of times. It could always be sold upon upgrade for not much of a loss (depending on purchase price, new/used/grey/etc).[I] Note on bias: i have a soft spot for this lens and do end up recommending it to basically every DX user who doesn't have already have a kit zoom of some sort - it's still superb value though[/I] :cool: That said if you feel confident that the 18-35g or 24mm optimally fit your future needs though they definitely wouldn't be bad lenses to own. My undisputed kit-lens bias aside i think it's usually for the best to get better lenses the first time around. [/QUOTE]
