Nikon d70s kit lens.. Any feedback?

[zedin]

Well it looks like finally after the hollidays I will have enough money for my digital camera. My question is I always hear about how kit lenses tend to suck but with the 1.5x factor I was still wanting to do wide angle shots so wanted the kit lens (17-77mm if I recall). I didn't see any specs on the lens at photodo.com so was wondering if others had any feel for how well this particular kit lens performs.

From my limited experience I can say the kit-lenses from Nikon aren't that bad especially when one is just starting into photography.

D-70 kit lens rocks. Just look at JM and my posts. I use a lot of telephoto but all other shots are with the kit lens.
