A good constant fast lens covering this zoom range is generally expensive and heavy. The 18-70 at f/3.5-4.5G is "faster" than a lot of similar positioned lenes at a reasonable price. For a lot of the types of shooting one generally does with a general purpose "street" zoom this easily covers the bill. But of course the beauty of interchangable lens is your not locked in so you can pick what is appropriate for you need. The 1.4 or 1.8 50mm prime is great choice when it meets the need not only for low light but also the simplicity of design makes it easy to manufacture a sharp lens at a reasonable price and being small it is easier to steady the camera further improving results one will get. That is the beauty of interchangable lens; you can select what is appropriate for your situation and add as needs change or finances allow.
