Lol, never expect people will start asking wats wrong and etc. Erm yes, there is a few niggles here and there that is wrong with the kit lens esp with 18-55, the most annoying part for me is the front part that rotates! Its freaking annoying and there are a few times where I ACCIDENTLY turned the motor and also MF is pointless for that kit lens unless it has a proper focusing ring in it.
Okay, lemme rephrase, if you got the kit lens with your body, then that is fine. Don't need to run about saying oh I need to get a new lens straight away because that lens will serve u well for the time being (until you got the money to fork out for a good lens, then you will say its a lame lens), but if you got the choice (as in your kit lens got broken/stolen/some more reasons), then forget the kit lens and aim for something worth your money. Of course the kit lens with the
L designated on it is an exception, lol!
I bought my 50mm f/1.8 which really is the cheapest lens you can get, and I'm not missing my kit lens at all, in fact I use it for most of my shots now. The only time I took it out is when I need that wideangle for group shots.
Also when you buy good glasses, you will spend less time adjusting saturation slider, I'm not sure if its me or anything, but each time I use my kit lens, I need to adjust the saturation slider cause the color most of the time look dull to me and its the same result with or without a filter infront of the lens.
So for my conclusion and this is important, regardless any eq you use, in the end it is what behind the camera that matters, gears will only get you to certain heights (well you will need certain gear to get certain job done though and there is no running from it when the time comes), a pro can use the cheapest body w/ kit lens and shoot circles around a noob w/ pro eq's. So moral of the story, in camera world, the equipment will come to you (but not your money) when the time is right
