Lately I’ve seen several comments and videos from photographers discussing why pro and prime lenses are better than kit lenses. I won’t discount these arguments, because in many cases they have valid points. However, kit lenses still have their place and can be a very effective tool for photographers, and in some cases are the better option.
In this video I talk about the differences between kit lenses and “pro” lenses, and I also discuss some reasons why you would want to use one over the other. Watch it here or on YouTube, and please subscribe to my channel to get more of my videos like this down the road.
