Ok guys, i am in the market for a new DSLR. I currently use a 35mm SLR but have recently been asked to do a few engagement shoots and other misc. stuff like promotional photos for a friend of mine for his DJ business. With all of these request, I figured I could invest in a DSLR.
I have been looking at the Nikon D80. I have checked out bhphotovideo.com and have found this kit and wondered what you guys thought about the lenses that it comes with.

I am also just considering buying the camera body and finding lenses separate.
Any suggestions on the lenses that I should look at. I do mainly portrait photography (i.e. engagements, senior photos, family photos...). I figured a good mid-range lens with zooming capabilities would suit me along with a wide angle lens.
What would you recommend that wouldn't hurt the pocketbook too much.
Basically, for now I am wanting a portrait setup with the D80 and probably a flash, although I have always used available light with my film camera when shooting.
