I am quite happy with the lens and I no problem taking it with me on trips. It's very light, well built, although a bit large compared to my kit lens that came with the Panasonic G1, but not by much. Remember this is the lowest end and the cheapest lens the manufacturer can make as a kit lens. Other than the original kit lens that came with the Rebel 300D, I have had good experiences with kit lenses that came many of the camera bodies I have bought over the years. They are optically getting better while built materials getting cheaper (except the Sony NEX, which has metal mount and lens barrel). For any better quality lenses, you would have to fork out quite a bit more money for slightly better image quality. The majority of NEX users will find the lens more than satisfactory in most cases, except low light use.
Subway Station -- NEX-5 & 18-55mm kit lens.
have you try the Canon FD 55mm f1.2 ?
ReplyDeleteI quite agree with you. I like the 18-55 kit lens that come with my nex-5. It's very convenient for travelling but well, except for low light condition. I recently got my hand on the 16mm fixed lens and I have to say, I would have preferred the kit lens instead for an all-around multi-function :) still love the 16mm though...
ReplyDelete@dreamie: Yes I have the FD 55mm f1.2 and I like it quite a bit.
ReplyDelete@Simplicity: I also prefer the 18-55mm kit lens over the 16mm, but I like the size of the pancake lens. These are not high end lenses so one shouldn't expect optical perfection from them.
