I couldn't wait to order it. I know I like and will use it. Robert

I knew I wanted the 50mm but I did not want that to be my only lens. I should have just gotten it when I ordered the camera and the 17-70mm but in the end this works out real well. I am going to have to take a break from buying for a little while now and pay some bills. Robert

That's great that you found a good price on the kit lens. I see you are getting some very nice primes. Why exactly are you getting the kit lens? After you use those other lenses on your list are you sure you are going to want to use the kits lens? BTW, I am completely loving the Sigma 17-70mm so far. Tomorrow will be the first real test for me at the car show. I am glad I have the wide angle and the extra reach of the 70mm. Robert

BTW, I am completely loving the Sigma 17-70mm so far. Tomorrow will be the first real test for me at the car show. I am glad I have the wide angle and the extra reach of the 70mm. i got the kit lens to play with a cheap zoom and help me determine which zoom i'd like to purchase in the future. i'll be paying 400+ on my first zoom purchase, and would like a better idea of which 'standard' zoom is best for me. whether it's one with a bit of wide angle, or a bit of tele. the kit lens should help me do that, and i can probably sell it off at the same price. inthedeck wrote in post #2147042 You guys are KILLING ME!!! hehehe.
