It all depends on what you intend to shoot.

i have the 18-55, 23, 35 and 50 f2’s.

the f2 lenses focus much faster, plus those extra stops.

the 35 is my least used f2. The 23 is great as a walk around / street, the 50 ideal for taking nAtural light images of my never sit still granddaughter.

i bought the 35 (used) as I thought it might suit me better for street, but not so.

as others have said, shoot a lot with the 18-55, analyse your focal lengths and see what will suit you best, for what you intend to shoot.
