Kit lenses were, frankly, a bit boring, typically a wide to standard focal length zoom with a narrower aperture and mediocre image quality. But lately, kit lenses are feeling, well, a little less boring. Better yet, depending on the camera body and the retailer, you may have a handful of lenses to choose from to bundle with the camera body. Even when opting for a pricier kit lens, there’s still often a discount to purchasing a camera and lens together. Don’t get me wrong, even the more common cheap kit lenses are sometimes worth adding to your kit, depending on your budget and your genre.
