And VTEC_4_LIFE, thanks for the input on that lens. Reminds me a lot of the D90 lens, which I really like. The used pricing is not so bad either. I'm just worried about buying from that website you showed, because I can't see the actual lens itself and see its condition.
Also, another question. Is an aperture of 3.5 a SIGNIFICANT difference from a 1.8? Just want to know if the aperture will set off the zoom and wide angle on the 18-70.

the condition of the lens is listed, and theyre generally good with that sort of thing, its a good reputable dealer, so if its not to your liking you can just send it back. . . the D90's 18-105 VR is a nice kit, Its in my bag and usually attached to my D90, and I do appreciate the longer reach and the VR, but I shoot with my friends 18-70 from time to time and I do like it
the difference between 1.8 and 3.5 is two stops, so the 1.8 is letting in four times the light the 3.5 is, BUT IMO, having a zoom is worth it, dont get into primes until you have a do-it-all zoom, that is unless of course you have a decent compact to cover that while the SLR is out for low light, but even then there are some things compacts just cant do

But if you like me and can't afford one go with the 35mm 1.8
what do you like shooting? if you need a a zoom lens look for a used 18-105vr or even a 18-55vr they are pretty easy to find used

85mm 1.4s go for obscene amounts of money, so I think Ill pass on that
