I just bought a D7000 a month ago as well. I previously had purchased the 50mm 1.8, and that is really my favorite lens of the four I own (18-55, 70-200, 18-105, 50).

The 50 works great for portraits, shots you want a super creamy background in, and up close work too. On the other hand, I've been VERY pleased with the 18-105 kit lens that came with the D7000. I think it really handles the 85mm and 105mm lengths great, so really you just have to ask yourself what focal length are you going to be shooting the most in and in what kind of light.

I use the 50mm in low light more than I do the longer focal points, so the 50mm made the most sense to me.

Do you have any other lenses or is this your first Nikon F-Mount camera?
