I ended up going with my gut and grabbing the 50 1.4 AF-D, and I love it. It's sharp at 1.4 and never misses focus, that was money well spent. I also got my mother a Bigma 150-500 OS for mother's day.

It has decent focus speed but the IQ is over the top for a kit lens, the last time I shot a kit lens that good was the old Canon 28-70 from the 1980s that came bundled with the EOS 650 and 630. Our Father in Holy Saturimony lists it on his Ten Best Nikon Lenses, right up there with the Holy Grail 13mm f5.6 and 24 1.4, for the money and weight you can't beat it I still have mine after upgrading to the Df and prime lenses.
Kit lenses years ago sucked dicks, but Canikon have been stepping that shit up recently, pic related shot on my 18-55 VR II.
