Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
no your kit lens will be F3!.5-4!.5 or something - thats slow - F1!.8 is speedy

and as the perk said primes are so much sharper - and so much much much more sharp than kit lenses

if your happy with the kit lenses why not try for a tele zoomer maybe!? a 55-200 or something

also, keep in mind it's a fixed lens (no zooming in/out)!. But yeah, your pictures are gonna be sharp as hell wth that lens!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No because your f stop will not go to 1!.8 and a prime is sharper than a zoom!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
