Kit Lens vs Prime Lens - Do you need to upgrade your gear?

in #dtube • 6 years ago

Most cameras come with a kit lens, but is it good enough for everyday photo and video work? Is a kit lens superior to a prime lens? With all the talk about new gear vs old gear, often times we ask ourself if we really need to upgrade. This video explains my thoughts.

    That Sony kit lens is underrated. I've only changed it now after it got damaged. I now have the Sony 20mm f2.8 because I really need autofocus. I'm very happy with it. Also the 20mm is so small (pancakey) :)

    Yeah man that kit lens is amazing! I’ve never played with the 20, how do you like it? I know you said you’re happy with it but overall picture quality is good? I usually keep the Sigma 16 on my camera and LOVE it.

        While more expensive gear can be nice to own gear does not make the image. You can have the most expensive gear in the world but if you dont know lighting, composition and how to use the tools then it will still look like crap. I have suffered from gear buying before too (sounds like an illness haha) but as long as you know your craft even the cheapest gear can make amazing content.

        Great to see you on here again!
