thanks, that's about where I was in my thinking. I plan on picking up the 50mm 1.8 in the states this summer, as I can get it for £50 there, probably get the battery grip too for £70.
Like you I love prime lenses, my 24mm zuiko almost never came off my OM40. Going back to a dSLR one of the big things I wanted was decent depth of field control, so I can take shots with nice bokeh. I'll look into some of the others. Let me know what you think of the 18-200 VR when you try it, apparently the VR is worth -4stops which is impressive.
For now though, I think I'll get the 18-135 with the kit, for general walking around shots. I'd like the sigma 10-20 but again that will have to wait a little while.
Have a friend going to california next week, and very tempted to order the camera kit for delivery to their hotel. D80, 18-135 and 2x2GB cards for £629
