Mr. Tonka is correct. I started out with a kit lens but the image quality wasn't meeting my expectations.
I even upgraded my camera body before I realized the problem is always with the glass (lens). The pro lenses provide not just a sharper image but I noticed better color, contrast and overall a better and less distorted image.
Also something you have to realize is that most of the magic you see in digital photography is in the editing. You need to become proficient in a good raw editor. Adobe Lightroom is my favorite.
Pro lenses are expensive and most of the time heavier than a consumer grade lens but that has to do with the large Apertures and build quality. Most pro lenses have metal cases vs plastic and also have weather sealing to help keep dust and moisture out.
Pros shoot in all weather and extreme climates. The gear has to be able to withstand those environments and abuse.
