I second Aaron's comments and would add that you should seriously consider buying only lenses with the highest optical and build quality. A good lens will outlast many cameras, and can be used on cameras purchased later. They are, in essence, a lifetime investment. The newer cameras are pretty much destined for relatively short life spans. Buy one superb lens rather than two or three mediocre lenses. Take your time, and build a lens kit that will last a long time, rather than opt for something readily affordable that will have to be replaced as you become a more discerning photographer, or that will wear out or need repair later on.
