$150 · Nikon 18-55mm VR II Kit Lens w/ Lens Hood & 2 Filters

The Nikon 18-55mm VR II Kits lens is probably the best lens for beginner photographers to start out on. It's light, versatile, small, has great image quality, fast and accurate autofocus, and has vibration reduction! It also comes with a Nikon HB-69 Lens hood which is designed specifically for this lens. And it also comes with two filters, one being a Platinum polarizer filter I bought at Best Buy, and a Nikon 52mm NC Filter, which is pretty much just a UV Filter. *Price dropped from 200.
