The 50mm f1.8 is apparently a great lens for the money, but I agree that if you are looking for getting the most use for your money when starting a kit that it would be smarter to go with a high quality, fast zoom that covers the 50 mm focal point. The lenses that Brightcolors suggested seem to be very good choices for the money according to the test reports I have read.
