Hi all, I'm about to buy my first ever DSLR, and Nikon D750 will have the honor for that. I've researched a lot about DSLRs, but the lens part is confusing me a bit as I'm starting to learn about it. I'm about to purchase already so need your kind expertise to help me a bit about the lenses.

D750 also comes with a kit set of AF-S 24-120mm F4G ED VR lens. A friend told me to just get the body and a 50mm 1.8G for a beginner like me as it fits for all purpose, and that a prime focus lens usually produces a bit better image quality than a zoom lens. Now this kit lens retails at RM4.7k (discounted can probably get RM3.7k), but with this kit I just need to add RM2k to get it. I feel that I'll be missing a good deal if I only get the body. What is your advice? How good is this kit lens? Is the quality really as what my friend has said?

Thanks in advance. Sorry if the question seems silly.

Thank you both! Very good points.

The 24-70 f2.8 really beyond my budget, but I get what you mean. Thanks!

Understood. A lot to learn about lenses.

Thanks for your input! Very much appreciated.

Will do.

Thanks, noted.

I will not be a dedicate photographer as I hardly have time, it will be normal use and will be bringing it around whenever I travel/vacations or for functions. I just love photography and appreciate good images.

I'm very late in the game, I figured I'll get the best I can afford now.

Thanks so much! Those pictures are wonderful, though I can't tell which lens used, I guess more experience will help.

My friend was quite seasoned in photography though, I do know he owns a D7000 and a Mamiya 70mm film camera. Maybe he was just trying to minimize my cost.

Roger that. You guys have really given strong case to get the kit now. Again my sincerest thanks to everyone!
