[@honeysharma-l7r]

how is kit lens for photography

[@arifdaniel9106]

I just planning to buy it next month..is it still relevant to keep up with the other average camera?

[@pixelkiez]

@@arifdaniel9106 In my opinion, yes. The image quality is still top-notch. The autofocus is no longer the best, but it was sufficient for me.

Intro isn Knaller! 🧨 🔥🔥🔥

Besten Dank, Sven 🙌

[@ivorwindybottom77]

Loving the video I got the a6000 but haven’t used the kit lens since I bought it maybe il try again after seeing what you can do with it .

[@pixelkiez]

Thanks and yeah, give the kit lens a chance. 🙌

[@0day450]

hi, did you using slog to record this video? 4K or 1080P? i am new to sony, used to be a canon DSLR user before, so first time recording video, thank youuu :DDDD

[@pixelkiez]

Hi, i recorded the video with a GoPro 12. The A6000 cannot do 4k and does not have a slog profile.

Nice, got a few questions: 1. most of the pictures have aperture set to 5.6 - how did you decide on this? Is it due to lens parameters or the intensity of light during that particular day? 2. do you use manual focus (using the lens ring)? It seems that it was mostly automatic, because you used various focal lengths, but just wanted to make sure? 3. Did you use ISO manual? 4. It seems that the mostly changing parameter was the shutter speed - are you using the S mode instead of Manual? Thanks for the answers in advance - I am beginner and I am trying to make a good use of this body and kit lens.

[@pixelkiez]

Hello, I'm happy to answer your questions. 1. I chose aperture 5.6 so that I didn't have to adjust the exposure time for every photo, as I was taking photos in mode M. Since the kit lens has an aperture of 5.6 at the longest zoom, I left everything at aperture 5.6. So it was just for convenience. 2. I've never used the manual zoom on the kit lens. Everything was just autofocus. 3. Yes, I chose ISO 200 that day. Because it wasn't that bright and I still had enough reserve for the shutter speed. 4. That's right. In mode M, you theoretically only regulate the shutter speed if you don't change the aperture and ISO. In theory, I could have taken photos in mode A. I could have set the aperture to 5.6 and the ISO to 200, and then I would have had exactly the same shutter speed. But that was too boring for me. But now I use mode A very often. I wish you lots of success with your photography. You've chosen a very good combination to start with. You can do a lot with it.

[@forneverarrow]

Nice photography! I am using the a6000 with the 18-105 f4 as my main camera. Very capable and light. Did you used Continuous AF in the video?

[@pixelkiez]

Thanks. Thats a nice combo too. Yes, i use AF-C in this video.

[@andrisstanga5938]

I was disappointed with the kit lens (the same lens was supplied with my a6400) and so quickly bought the Sigma 18-50 f2.8. But of course, the kit lens has one big advantage - stabilisation - which is lacking from the Sigma. Makes me wish I could afford a body with IBIS... For me, the kit lens is not sharp enough. It can be OK in the centre but quickly deteriorates towards the edges. But even so, from time to time I put this lens back on the camera to see what I can do. I guess the satisfaction really depends on your subject matter, and how Lightroom can help to make things seem sharper. I have found street photography for sure to be good. It seems you were using aperture priority? Set to f5.6 and then only adjusting exposure plus or minus before the shot? I tried street in manual mode, but too much to think so you miss some shots. Aperture priority makes more sense. For me, f8 on the kit lens. I can then snatch shots much more quickly. But it needs to be where the subject draws you to the centre or close to. That way you don't notice the shortcomings of the lens so much. For landscape or architectural work (I do a lot of both) the kit lens is just not up to the job. Although I heard more recently there is quite a variety in the quality of this lens. Maybe I just had bad luck with mine?

[@pixelkiez]

No, you weren't unlucky with the kit lens. In terms of sharpness, this really isn't the best lens and as you said, the corners sometimes look very blurry. That's why dimming is the best option here. And Lightroom helps a lot when editing to correct the errors of the kit lens. You definitely didn't do anything wrong with the Sigma.

[@dr.seltsam1975]

Erster ! :) Klasse was Du aus älteren Kameras rausholst ! Props gehen raus ! Banger @ 4:42 !

[@pixelkiez]

Glückwiunsch 😂 Und vielen Dank. 🙌

[@lorenschwiderski]

4:43 and 7:45 are great shots, at a 75mm FF field of view. Good choice of lens length since 3 people and a bazooka in close for shooting nears the point of impossible. The Sony is old, and the kit lens rather poor, but does it matter for the street, I think not, as composition, and story is all which is required. Oh that Sony menu system? Never got into Sony systems, but the focusing is said to be fast and accurate, so to that end, maybe good.

[@pixelkiez]

Thanks for your feedback. The kit isn't the fastest or sharpest but as you said, it's perfectly fine for the street. If you don't want to spend a lot, you can still buy this thing.

[@lemongreen342]

Dammm I decided to buy it yesterday after watching your video

[@pixelkiez]

Oh nice, have fun with it.

[@rembeadgc]

One could do worse than the kit lens. Sometimes, because of its compactness and versatility, its the best thing for the situation. Outside of that, I go with the Sigma 18-50 for the 2.8 and the Sony 18-135 for reach They're both great..

[@pixelkiez]

It's not the best lens. Fortunately, you can still improve a lot with Lightroom. You shouldn't necessarily zoom in either. 😂 The lenses you mentioned are absolutely better.

[@logic_sp2ce157]

That's really cool

[@pixelkiez]

Thank you 🙌

[@daboiMack]

love your photos. what software did you use to edit?

[@pixelkiez]

Thank you. I use lightroom.

[@たかむら-c9i]

What is your α 6000 Mode dial set to?

[@chiefmak449]

Can u please whether a used a6000 is good option in 2024?

[@pixelkiez]

In any case. I buy all cameras used. you just have to be careful with the display. some have the coating peeling off. But I've never seen it before.

[@miroslav.liptak]

Perfect👌

[@pixelkiez]

Thanks 🙌

[@happyhalflife]

Newbie here, how is it so clear and my shots are so "noisy"

[@pixelkiez]

Maybe your ISO is set too high?

[@happyhalflife]

@@pixelkiez Ah yes that might be the case, also another question, how do you set your aperture, ISO and shutter speed so quickly on the fly? A subject may appear at any given second and you always get such crisp shots without fumbling around the camera settings

[@pixelkiez]

@@happyhalflife I take photos in M ​​mode. You set everything yourself. First I look at the light that day - it was pretty cloudy. So ISO100 was out of the question and I set the camera to ISO200. I don't change anything now. I had the kit lens on, which has a worse aperture than fixed focal lengths. F3.5 at 16mm - F5.6mm at 50mm. That's actually ideal for street photography. So I don't change anything about the aperture either, as it always changes automatically from F3.5 - F5.6 depending on the zoom. So I only have to set the shutter speed. The ISO200 gave me enough reserves to take sharp photos of people in motion. And the right shutter speed is quickly set using the dial.

[@happyhalflife]

@@pixelkiez That's really insightful and clear explanation, thank you! Also I didn't know that the F changes when you zoom at the same time, looks like I need to read up more in depth about lenses, thanks again, very new to photography here.

[@exyronylfa]

I'm planning to buy a6000

[@pixelkiez]

Its a good choice.
