I'm planing on purchasing a dslr in the near future and am trying to decide how best to spend on a limited budget. I've decided on the Nikon d90. Now my next decision is lenses. Body is about $900 or $1150 w/ kit lens. I'm just a hobbyist but most of my shooting is landscape - hence the need for a wide-angle which I plan on going with the sigma 10-20mm (good performace for the price from what I've read. And as an aside does anyone know when the sigma 10-20mm 3.5 version will go on sale?). And since the 50mm 1.8 is so cheap I figure I'll get one of those as well for the rare portrait shot I might want to take.
So the question is this - will I regret not having a "mid-range" lens if I decide to skip the kit lens and go with just the 10-20mm and 50mm? I know the kit lens isn't the best of lenses but I'm also not willing to spend a ton of money on a quality mid-range that I (think I) won't use often.
Opinions appreciated
