I'm surprised that you are the only person, as far as I can tell, to mention the humble kit lens. Of course, when starting up photography, it's not only the most useful but it's downright necessary since it's probably the only one. But once the bug has bitten, it quickly loses its status having been obsoleted by faster lenses or specialty lenses. Despite that, many photographers decide not to get rid of it, maybe because one never wants to forget one's first, in either romance or cameras.
You are so right about never forgetting one’s first but that one left the party a long time ago. Been replaced many times but still remembered.
