Why your Kit Lens is Better than You Think.

5 years ago i bought my first DLSR bundle with kits lens.Zuiko 14-42mm f3.5-5.6.

Most kit lenses are, by their nature, inexpensive (a polite way of saying cheap). That’s understandable – all the manufacturers are in competition with each other and they keep the prices of their camera kits down by creating inexpensive kit lenses. If your only lens is a kit lens, does that mean you should go out and buy a better one straight away? No it doesn’t – no matter what anyone says, or how much you lust after expensive glass, your kit lens is a great lens to get started with. I decided to stick with the kit lens and below is a few sample from my kit lens mounted to my Olympus E620.

 It's raining outside so i prefer to shot indoor.

 After rain...kit lens can create bokeh too.

It wasn’t the world’s best lens, but it was good enough to get me started.Your kit lens is probably a better lens than you think it is, but it’s still not a great lens and has several shortcomings. At some point you will bump up against the limitations. This is not a bad thing, it simply indicates that you’re at the stage where a different lens will help you take better photos.
