I would get a cheap 18-55 kit lens because they are actually all right and it's good to have for the wide end. And a couple of good primes (28 1.8 , 50 1.4 , 100 2.8 Macro) which are compatible with future FF bodies.
Then you add a 70-200 when you've got more cash and you've got a full kit.
When you change for FF body, get a 17-40 F2.8 or similar with it to replace the cheapo kit lens.
Get M42 lenses that are a bit more special that a 50mm! I dunno, a fisheye, tilt/shift etc.. because they are "toy" lenses.
you mean the canon 18-55 kit lens? That is possibly one of the most aweful lenses ever produced. Fact. Its got bitching barrel distortion, horrific CA, terribly inaccurate focus and suspect build quality, even if it was free I would rather not have one.
Also as NEV, get what you want in the first place, getting low end stuff or things that aren't what your after in the 1st instance is pretty much only OK when you 'need' something to do a job, beyond that you just get frustrated. Buy L glass first time round or bust* :)
*generally I've also found it cheaper in the long run to just buy what you want, if you get something crap/ low end, it costs £££ whatever, and then in teh future that vision of just being able to trade it in melts as you find you can barely even give away kit lenses/ low end stuff.
