I usually shoot with either a prime or a zoom which is well to one side of 50mm. I’ve been through “the kit lens sucks because it is the kit lens” to “I actually took some pictures I like with it” to “These are not so sharp and I wish the aperture had more blades.”. I don’t know if and when I can justify the expense but I am definitely thinking about a better lens in that range or maybe wider though a tele with a wider aperture would help with shooting sports.
