DA18-55 and DA50-200 are indeed good lenses: the 18-55 is pretty honest considering it is more or less given for free and 50-200 pleases me very much. I'm not used to use really good lenses (no money enough) except a couple affordable primes but that 50-200 gives me very nice family portraits indoor (with bounced 360FGZ).
