Hi, tomorrow im buying my first DSLR camera, ill buy the D60 in cameta camera:

Nikon D60(factory demo) with some accesories: $350

And my question is what lense to buy:

AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED
AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR
AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED

Thanks :)
 
All are good lenses; the 18-70 has surprisingly good optical quality.

The 18-105 has VR, which is nice for shooting hand-held at slower speeds, or for slow-speed panning, or for shooting in windy conditions or from a moving platform like a tour bus, a ferry boat, a fishing boat, or when you might be slightly out of breath and a bit unsteady of hand; Nikon's Vibration Reduction or "VR" really,really does help.

The 18-135 has the most range of any of the three, but does not have the VR function.

My preference would be, in order, 1)18-105VR, 2)18-70 for compactness and good optics, and 3)18-135 for maximum range.
 
Thanks for the answer :) so the VR really help, i think im getting the 18-105mm.
 
Get the 18-105, the extra 30mm can be walked within a matter of a few quick steps - the VR is nice to have.

Enjoy!
