Hello!

As I posted in the intro thread, I'm moving up from a point-and-shoot camera, and after a great deal of research I think I'd like to get a Pentax K10D. I understand there's going to be quite a learning curve!

Do you think it would be best to just go with the kit lens for now, and add different/better lenses later, or should I go with better lenses right at the start? My primary shooting is going to be photographing my 9 month old daughter, so no special lens needs there. I am very attracted to close up pictures, so at some point I'd like a macro lens. I also like the idea of a telephoto lens. I'm kind of all over the place at the moment.

For budget, getting the camera, kit lens, memory card, and something to hold everything is going to basically use up my allotment (we already have a tripod). However, if a better lens was really recommended, I could wait another month and add to the budgeted amount.

Is there a better quality medium lens you would recommend? Or is the kit lens 'good enough'?

Thanks so much!
