Dear all, i've googled for the specs and reviews of the kit lens but i don't seem to understand it.

I'm getting a D80 soon and i'm wondering if i should go for 18-70 or 18-135. The reason i get to choose is because the D80 is a used unit and i can get  either lenses that i want.

What are the pros and cons of the both lens?

AFAIK 18-135 has higher zooming capacity and its more versatile than 18-70 as it can be used as telephoto. Please advise guys.

Your help is appreciated. smile.gif

Edited: I tried to look and asked around for more infomation. But the more i know,the more confused i am.

Apertures on lens,AF and so on.

Are you getting these lenses separately from the secondhand D80 body? Mind you that when you get a Malaysia warranty Nikon D80 kit it comes with the 18-135mm lens. If you get the international warranty set (grey set as some people here say), it comes with the 18-70mm lens.

If money is not the problem, I would go for the 18-135mm lens as it is a good walkabout lens.

Yup, second hand body. I've decided for 18-70mm.

Money is a problem right now. smile.gif
