okay so i'm thinking about finally diving into the digital slr world, film is getting expensive...

I'm thinking about the Nikon D70S, but i'm not sure if buying the kit is worth it.

I've seen a lot of you praising that Tamron lens... the 28-70 (?) f2.8 ABCDEFG model (I know that's not it's actual name, but they've thrown in so many acronyms, why not). Would that be a good lens to use as my primary walkaround?

Any other suggestions for lenses? I'll still be using my film camera for some studio work and stuff, but I'd like to be able to use this for A) everyday stuff, B) portraits, C) some studio stuff, D) landscapes, etc... I know one lens won't cut it for all those things, i'm coming from a set up where i have 6 different lenses... but i'm thinking right now about going with a 28-70 type lens, and maybe a 50mm/1.8

thoughts? suggestions?

sadly my film setup is all minolta manual focus, which rocks as gear goes, all very good quality, but its completely not usable beyond that platform... so i'm starting from scratch here.
