I bought the 12-24 zoom with the camera and have been having a marvy time with it. (I really enjoy wide angle.) The prices on all the lenses in the list vary quite a bit, so check Amazon and B&H. (Here is the price list for my local store:

DX lenses.)
Also check with your local camera store to see if you can get the D80 as a kit, with a cheapie throw-in lens, just to get you started.
