Here's a thought...

Canon EF-S 18-55mm / Zuiko 14-45mm / Nikon bla bla... You can capture a lot of good quality pictures with just a kit lens. You can even make money if you will study, do a lot practice and of course market yourself. But, here's the thing...

What if, you are asked to shoot macro? like bugs or ants perhaps? You can't use your kit lens with those. That, you need to get a copatible macro lens.

Next... what if, you are going to shoot an INDOOR Low Light basketball / table tennis game? yes, you can use a kit lens... but, you are not allowed to use flash. lets say... F5.6 @ 55mm, ISO 1600... hmm... shutter speed of? 1/40? camera shake? not enough focal length? not enough light? pictures too grainy? not sharp? player's will be ghosting in your shots? This way, you need a better telephoto lens...

just some examples. I would agree a bit on... "It's the photographer, not the camera..."

But the best line for me would be... "It's the photographer and his camera." You can't be a photographer if you don't have a camera. Just a simple statement, you guys can expand it to relate it with other gears...

really? i wonder what review the only cons i read is for the price it didn't include the lens hood, no environmental sealing, not an L build quality, high price! other than that it's really something, most of the users are raving about it, but i really can't afford this one, so it remains just a dream hehe

that's what I meant they should have priced it around or just a bit higher than the 17-85

Here's a thought... "It's the photographer and his camera."

True. But I'd say it goes further than that as a good photographer's skills go beyond equipment. No matter whether a camera is a point&shoot, medium format, Canon, or Sony... a good photographer should be able to just pick up anything and be able to take good pictures... once he figures out where all the controls are

yeah they should have priced it cheaper but with so many people buying it i doubt it would go lower, people are selling their 17-85 for it well there are good 3rd party ones for walk around lenses...cheaper too..

I agree on that!

Zerone_null: LOL!!! buanga, mubu-a nako kalipay... naka tawa gyud ko... hehehe...

Anyway, to add something for this topic...

NIKON USERS!

Nikon DX VR 18-200 mm F3.5-5.6G Zoom - around $750 - $900.


kinda expensive but, considering its versatility... its a very good kit lens replacement...

[irangejuice]

I heard it's pretty sharp at 18 all the way to 200mm. That's pretty rare.
