Thinking about getting my 17 y.o. a D50 and a starter lens. Was thinking of a Nikkor 50mm 1.8D AF. What's everyone's opinion on this lens choice?
Just a thought... why a prime, not a zoom? 18-200 would give her/him a great way to study composition....

I'm the kind of person who can live without the wide-end so I'd say Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8. They can be had between $200 - $300 used (sometimes new) and the constant wide aperature along with the zoom flexibility will offer a very good compromise between those suggesing fast primes and those suggesting 18-70mm kit lenses. Also being able to keep the shutter speed up may stave off some frustration early on if action shots are a priority.
