Kit lenses are an underrated piece of a photographers... well, kit. They offer way more advantages than most people realize. In this video, I rant and yap for 5 minutes straight about those advantages.

Thank you so much!

I'm with you! I use kit lenses on a variety of Sony, Canon and Nikon cameras, primarily in my small home studio, where they offer great range, and stopped down to f5.6 the image quality is more than acceptable.

[@chancetalkscameras]

Yep! If it wasn't for the dirt cheap price of the 16-50, I'd have never even gotten into making KZbin videos! (didn't have anything wide enough besides that). I swore off kit lenses for so long when I was a beginner because everyone always tries to scare you away from using them. :)

@@chancetalkscameras Yeah, just go with the results, rather than what others say!

[@alainalain6454]

yes but go shooting nightshoot at 5.6 or portrait , F1.4/F1.8 render well better than f5.6 in bookey. otherwise for landscape it's not bad lens

upside, they also fit comfortably inside volkswagen cupholders

[@chancetalkscameras]

That's entirely accurate

What a coincidence tomorrow I am buying my first ever camera and your video pops up today, I am buying the good old A7 iii

[@chancetalkscameras]

The a7iii is awesome! I've had mine for almost two years. I don't have a ton of stuff covering the a7iii specifically yet, but here's what I got in case you want to do some learning: kzbin.info/aero/PLAEjiy3SLihfrXmpnpijisunsk85R7tdm&si=R1yK4f9h3U8ZvWc9
