7 Features Lens Kit Usually In underestimate

Photography. The kit lens is a lens that is sold in a package with the camera. On average lens we have the look of a geeky, material of his might look frail with plastic material, and specification of his might not be able to make proud, but the kit lens is a perfect option for those who are just starting an interest in photography and want to make peace with the budget.
 

1. excess Lens Kit: Have 4 In 1 Classic Focal Length Lenses

Although he looks geeky, a kit lens has a focal length of 4 classic, in other words a kit lens could replace four prime lens / fixed at once. Four had been a classic focal length: 28mm (wide-angle), 35mm (medium wide), 50mm (normal) and 85mm (portrait). Figures above the focal length is the number of full frame camera, the focal length equivalent to APSC cameras are respectively: 18mm, 23mm, 35mm and 56mm. 
 
And this time the majority of the kit lens for cameras sold APSC has a range of 18-55mm. Another option is the kit lens with a wide range of medium to approach the tele: 18-105mm or 18-135mm. Similarly, when you buy a full frame camera, the kit lens is most often in the offer is 24-105mm. Indeed, the kit lens would not offer openings powerful, most large in number f / 3.5, but at least you get the basic functions of four lenses (or more) in a single lens kit.
 

2. excess Lens Kit: Small and Lightweight

The kit lens is most often sold a package with the camera APSC is a 18-55mm lens. This lens does seem plain, but keep in mind that he's also very light and compact. For example, the kit lens Canon 18-55 f / 3.5-5.6 IS STM only weighs 200 grams and a maximum length of only 6 cm.
 
While the lens is similar to the specifications of the semi-pro, Canon 17-55mm f / 2.8 IS USM weighs 650 grams and a maximum length of 11 cm. Almost 2 times as long and three times heavier.
Same for Nikon. Nikon kit lens 18-55mm f / 3.5-5.6 weighs 195 grams and a maximum length of 6cm. Compare this with the Nikon 17-55mm f / 2.8g DX that weighs 755 grams and a maximum length of 11cm. If there walking away or going to travel, and the weight of this size would be very grateful.
 

3. The excess Lens Kit: Filter Cheaper

Filter lens is still useful, though we live in the digital age. And to filter this law applies: the bigger the diameter filters more expensive price.
 
Basic kit lens as we have mentioned above have a small physical size, automatically requires a smaller filter size anyway. Kenko Filter Pro-1 CPL (circular polarizer) are useful to cut the time we photographed reflection shiny surfaces (water, glass etc.) measuring 77mm (pro lenses) can cost more than Rp. 1 million. Compare with the same filter for a kit lens (58mm diameter), the price is not up to Rp. 700 thousand.

4. excess Lens Kit: Have a nice Minimum Focusing Distance

Minimum Focusing disctance, speerti reviewed in this article is measure the ability of the lens photographing objects at closer distances. We did not expect to match the ability of a macro lens, but the lens kit MFD have surprisingly better than the more expensive lenses.Both lenses above (18-55mm f / 3.5-5.6 either owned by Canon and Nikon) have the ability to focus on close-range better than the 17-55mm lens f / 2.8 which is much more expensive.
 

5. excess Lens Kit: Just Bought That We Need

There is an expression that is very meaningful in photography (and other fields): confused when we have to buy anything, it means we are not / do not need. When you are already using the kit lens in a sufficient period of time, you will be quite know the ins and outs of photography. You also increasingly know the personal taste in photography. When you know that your taste and your passion is a landscape photo and your own "grow" beyond the capability of the kit lens earlier, buy a special view of the lens: 10-22mm or 12-24mm.
 

6. excess Lens Kit: Offers Not necessarily Ugly

You also know why lens Canon 600mm f / 4 L can be sold at a price of Rp. 135 Million? besides requiring more material and better, also because these lenses are made in very small quantities so that their cost of production is great. Optically, the lens of our own highly enough in use to study photography until you feel stuck and squeeze their full potential then perform the upgrade.
 

7. excess Lens Kit: Savings Can Be Used to Buy Others

All the shops selling the kit lens at very cheap when we bought it with the camera. As an illustration, this time if we buy the Nikon D3200 + 18-55mm kit lens, the total purchases of both is Rp. 5 million. Yet when we bought the Nikon D3200 (body only) the price was Rp. 4.5 Million. so lens kit "only" valued Rp 500 thousand. Yet when purchased separately 18-55, this lens is priced at Rp. 1.7 Million.
