This post may ramble... I apologise in advance.
I'm going to buy a D40, now it comes with the 18-55mm kit lens, but I wondering whether to sell it and buy an 18-70mm from the start?
It looks like I could sell the 18-55mm for ~£80,
I can buy an 18-70mm 2nd hand for ~£120 or brandnew (from the UK) for £180 - and then sell it again for probably ~£120 if/when I wanted to upgrade.
I shoot a bit of everything but landscapes are mainly my thing
In the long run I was planning on building up a lens collection with something like: a 10-20, 18-200 and a 50 prime.
So what do people think, would the extra 15mm be worth ~£40 - or should I "save" the £80 and put that towards a bigger lens at a later date?
Cheers
EDIT: The 18-70mm in question is the "other" kit lens from the D80 etc... (just to clarify)
