Hi everyone,

I had been thinking of trading in my (what I thought was the KIT lens) on something a little different. until it was pointed out that my kit lens is a 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6G AF, and it seems most others are the 18-70mm..... Anyone else like this?

So now I am thinking of looking at a 18-70mm f3.5-4.5G (kit lens) or maybe spend a few extra and go for a 24-120 vr (read some very favourable comments).
looking for a good walk around lens???

any suggestions/thoughts on what I should do? I could always stick with what I got and save some money, but where is the fun in that!

Sell or eBay it and get the 24-120VR

Good advice birdy. I just sold mine on Ebay for $450. I wanted over five hundred, but you get that

I will be contacting you in the near future for the 24-120 VR.

Is it worth keeping the kit lens when if I were to purchase the 24 - 120 vr?

It's up to you, not much use of it once you had the 24-120Vr.

True.

I just realised there is 6mm focal length difference and thats neither here nor there when it comes to wide angles.

'Tis up to what you shoot. 24mm vs 18mm is quite a difference in wide angles if you shoot wide angle regularly. But if you only use wide angle to fit more people in a group shoot then yes you probably wouldn't notice
