Welcome to the forum.

I think that you copy of the 18-55mm lens works just fine. It is simply a matter of selecting an appropriate F# for a given situation. Considering that these are JPEGs without any pp they look quite good to my eye. This lens in my workhorse since 2012 and I have no plans to change. If you really want to improve sharpness and get more details out of your images you will have to process RAW using appropriate software tools.

Nice subject matter by the way:-) And also your JPEG settings look quite good - I would not change a thing. Keep posting!
