Maybe I read the initial inquiry wrong, I took it as kit lens or a 35/50 prime to start out with. Me personally, I'm going w/ the prime each time. The 18-55 kit lens does have value, essentially that it shoots wider. But that's about where it ends for me. It loses in pretty much any other category. Having a variable aperture lens to me is not a positive. I am probably bias, but having the added flexibility of lower f stops the cheap primes provide more than justify them over a 18-55 IMO. Depth of field is so key in the creative aspect, and is something that is much more difficult to use when you're limited to 3.5-5.6 at best.#this, yes optically prime lenses are typically MUCH better than your average kit lens...this shouldn't be taken to mean that kit lens aren't of value, especially starting out; just trying to figure things out...

This is all opinion though and everyone is free to do as they please. If you do start out w/ the kit lens; very first thing I'd recommend after that is a faster/cheap prime.

Cool waves bro
Recently visited San Francisco. More here.
I'm doing my first portrait shots with 2 girls in a few weeks. Anyone have any tips on lens ? I'm currently shooting with a t3i. I have 18-55 kit lens. 50mm 1.8 & a 40mm 2.8. We're shooting outside.
I plan on doing it here: http://californiathroughmylens.com/murphys-ranch-abandoned-nazi-camp-in-santa-monica/
