Well that could be, subject matter could make it useful or useless... At the time I got the kit lenses, I had really young kids, so it was not fast enough. And I liked taking flowers and portrait shots with the blurry subject isolation... The kit could not do that.
If I had never seen the wide open FA 50, and Tamron 90 shots, I probably would have been a kit shooter for a much longer time. But I ended up almost immediately buying the FA 50 and a Tamron 28-75 2.8 for the kid shots, and I never looked back.
What kind of subjects do you shoot with the 18-55? Maybe I need to fish mine out of the box and give it another try.
