I lost interest in the kit lens when I discovered primes, but rediscovered it again after using a number of other zooms, including the DA 16-45 and some manual land autofocus zooms from Sigma and Tamron. The kit lens is a worthy piece of equipment. I found the 16-45 to be slightly better in contrast and color, but only slightly. Sharpness was comparable, except for maybe at the corners at larger apertures. I now have the WR version, which I took out in the rain today just for fun. Here's one at 55mm, wide open. I'm also including a 100% crop because the wide-open sharpness is worth noting.
