So, I am wondering what the 18-28mm range of lenses is like. I started out shooting on a 28mm 2.8 prime, and I loved the speed. I am borrowing a Pentax K200D. Then I just got a really cheap 35-80mm lens used off ebay. I like the range, but I am disappointed in the slowness of only being 4-5.6 on the aperture settings. I also am borrowing a 70-200mm lens.

So, I am wondering if I am missing out on the low end of the range. I know it depends on what you are shooting. My 35-80mm lens seems like a great range, but I am disappointed in how slow it is. I don't really want to invest in a slow kit lens, just to be disappointed in it and just to try out the low end of the range. I was wondering what people's opinion of that range was, and if it's worth trying out.
