Hi,
I second going for the 18-105 kit lens.
Reasons as follows: 18-105 VR is a very versatile lens. I startedwith the D80 18-135 kit, loved the range, but the lack of VR was a let down, unable to shoot at 135mmm except for under sunny day condition.
Kit 2 was ok, but the need to keep switching lens causes missing shooting opportunities, instead of concentrating on the scene at hand, a newbie would be trying to figure out which lens to use instead. besides, once you gotten hang of the 18-105 VR, the hunt for new lenses begins, thus there is no lacking to discover other lenses later.
