Nikon D60 bundles...

[specialman]

A mate has seen my Nikon and wants in on the NAF system but can afford a D60 only –*the D90 and D500 are out of his price range. I've alerted him to the AF-S lens-only issue with the D60 and he's cool with that.

Thing is, as a 'kit' lens, he wants something with a bit more rnge than that standard 18-55mm VR. I've suggested he gets the 18-70mm because it's A) optically excellent, and B) has a good max aperure and brilliant build quality. Can't seem to find any bundles with this included – anyone know of any shops that you can create your own bundle with, preferably online?

Have you tried Jessops, I got my D60 from there and although I only bought the body, they had a couple of bundles you could choose from. Other option, which is what I did, is to buy the body and then buy the lens you want seperately,

Hope that helps. Louise

I don't think you'll find the 18-70 DX bundled - but its an excellent lens, I have one on my D60 and its a super combo.

I've had 2 D60's and each time I've replaced the kit 18-55 VR with an 18-70 DX and its been a noticeable upgrade.

He'd be best to buy a D60 with the 18-55 VR, sell that, and pick up an 18-70 DX.

Can you get body only with the D60? if so go for body only and find a S/H 18-70mm

Yes, can buy it body only whitey...

has he thought about a bundle with with 18-55 and 55-200, that would give a good focal lengh coverage

not used a 55-200, so cant comment on how good (or bad) it is though

I've alerted him to the AF-S lens-only issue with the D60 and he's cool with that.

He might be now while hes not 'into it' but once the bug has got him and hes looking for lenses he will regret the decision..... Like me :bonk:

Theres quite a few things that bug me about it now after 7 month using it.

You might want to check out the Currys bundle price of £259 for the D60 and the 18-55 lens, sell the lens and buy the one he wants, best price I have seen on the D60 for ages
