If it came with the 18-55 or 18-105 just use that for the time being, they are both actually quite sharp lenses just not all that fast.

As far a better fast lens, the 35 1.8 is probably the best/cheapest lens you can get thats sharp and has great low light performance, I use my 35 1.8 for just about everything when I just want to shoot and not dick with my lenses
