What's the best you can do with a kit lens?

Jan 1, 2008

D80 18-135@85mm F/5.6 1/1000s ISO 100 FF

I've haven't taken my 70-300VR off my D80 for 6 weeks or more, and when I put my 18-135 on for some wide angle shots, I started feeling twinges for lenses that cost more than $1000. So I felt challenged to maximize what I have.
Happy New Year to all my forum friends. You are much appreciated!
Fred
