What Is A Kit Lens? What You Need To Know Without The Irrelevant Detail!. Hi and welcome to Episode 60 of the Photography Explained podcast.
I’m Rick, and in each episode I will explain one photographic thing in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. Not Google. Well there might be the odd thing that I had to look up but mainly this is stuff that I know.
Here is my answer
A kit lens is a camera lens normally sold with a camera body as part of a starter kit. The most commonly sold kit lens is the 18-55mm lens, although other focal length kit lenses are sold. Kit lenses are at the lower end of the price and quality ranges, and are aimed at new photographers looking to upgrade from phones and fixed lens cameras. There is no formal definition of what a kit lens is.
