Well im using the kit lens right now. What I notice is that to get a good sharp focus and blurred background I have to be fairly close to the subject (with a 18-55 that means right next to it) and what happens then is I sometimes get a bit of distortion in the corners. I know that im not using the camera to it's full potential yet, I am only shooting on M mode, havent really played with the others, and there is a "depth of field" button near the lens that I have no idea what to use for.
