You should have got the original 'boxed' lens, it's quite good, and has a good
wide range considering the 1.5 crop factor. It can also focus quite close, about
1 foot I think.

I also use the Nikor 70-300 f4 cheap lens, it's not bad.

And I have the Sigma 28-300 f3.5 that I use as a general purpose snapshot lens,
it does a good job, but only focus at about 4 feet.
