[QUOTE="EORI, post: 607012, member: 43203"] Village: I've got the original kit lens (it came as a throw-in with the Xt), and I'll stand by my statement. While you are correct that skill is more important than equipment, all things being equal, better equipment will get the knowledgeable photographer a better image. Conversely, the best photographer in the world will be limited by his/her equipment. My daughter is learning now on the XT and kit lens combo. The OP asked for recommendations, and I steered him away from the original kit lens, because for only $40+ more, he can get Image Stabilization (which alone would be worth the extra cost) and better image quality. Take a look at the first sample image in in this lens review, place your cursor over the image, and tell me if you think the OP should still waste his time on the original kit lens.
