Kit lenses are shit. Tamron and sigma make some decent lenses that are not as expensive as Canon or Nikon. My Tamron 28-75 is sharper than Canons 28-70L and is about half the price.
Yes the build quality is not as good crap, but the images it produces are wonderful.
FTFY
Awaits more comments like scruff, typical stand up. Shame that you can’t be individual and want to follow the fashion like a sheep and probably don’t even live near the sea.
I use my 70-200L @ f4 on a full frame and is fine so on a crop it would have more DOF, I rarely go above ISO 400 either. Anyway you could easily fix ISO noise in noise ninja or similar.
