Very true. On the other hand, while a lot of Kit lenses (*coughCanoncough*) suck, the Nikon ones are surprisingly good. The 18-55 AF-S that comes with the D50 produces very nice pictures with low distortion (at the 18mm end less distortion then the 18-70mm AF-S, even). While I wouldn't mind an aperture ring, for the price it's really a fantastic lens. I use it with great success on my D50. The 18-70mm AF-S that comes stock on the D70s is stunning. I have a friend who uses one on a D50 and I love it. High-Quality across the board, although the zoom doesn't respond well towards the wide end in my opinion. I'd like to eventually pick up either a telefoto lens or an 18-200VR (which would sadly cost more than my camera and the kit lens that came with it, but these things happen), but for now I'm quite pleased with the kit lens.
To photto: Stunning shots. I especially like the last one.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
