One thing to take into account is, despite a kit lens offers a versatile zoom range right in the beginning, it can help you to find out over time which focal length comforts you, as a clue to what fixed focal length you should get to take your photography further.

Just bought A6400 with kit lens. I heard kit lens is not really good. But after seeing the picture, I guess the lens is not the problem, is the user. If you know how to used it, no matter what lens, it still will come out with great picture. Great video by the way. Its eye opening. I'm thinking to get Sigma 24-70 f2.8.

went with your advice!! got this cuz it’s more affordable and now i begin my new journey! hope to do big things and you’re one of the people that i’ll watch to help guide me in my experiences

kit lenses for people like me are miles better than what we are moving on from-- typically point and shoots or most of the time just a smartphone. so, any criticism is unnecessary. especially considering the price. also, the range of focal length is good for beginners as it will allow us to learn more about how the framing changes at different focal lengths.

Thank you so much😊, this surely cleared my doubts

Great video! Thanks for this, very educational, fun watch, learned a alot. The a6400 with kit is all I have right now and learning to use the kit is giving me an idea of what first lenses I will get in the future. Your shots are really good!

Just got this kit as first camera and this video shows that anyone can do just as much as beginners like me want, thanks lad.

Appreciate that you taking time to show us that we do can take fairly good photo. As beginner, I want to start with kit lens whole find out what's best for me next. This is super helpful.

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you for the great video!!!

A New Subscriber Here!! This is the best review I've ever seen to the entire KZread! And now finally because we've got no budget for a contemporary lens for the a6400 now we're getting the kit lens! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

The review I’ve been looking for. Although I wanted to now how it performed during low light or night shots. Other than that, this was wonderfully done. Thank you

Great content man! Keep the good job! I want to start in photography and videography, and I think this camera is perfect for a beginner like me, thank you for your content!

The photos are amazing! Beautiful!!!

My first lens is the one you’re using. You’ve inspired me to stick to it longer.

Great video! i particularly love that panning shot of the red car in front of the odeon!!

What a great video mate . I was so confused whether to buy my first canera with a kit lens or try abd find another lens but youre video really did show me that a kit lens will help me learn so much at first . Thank you

Thanks for doing this video. I have the same camera and the same kit lens. I'm just starting out and was rethinking whether or not I should get a new lens or not. Again, thanks!

Love that small kit lens with the a6400 fits in jacket pocket

Thanks. So far the only wide angle option I have for my A6400 is the kit lens. By the way my first lens was as I remember was an Olympus 50mm F1.8 with my Olympus OM10 film camera. Good memories 😊

Awesome video. Thanks for the information. Exactly what I was looking for. What lens did you use to shoot your video inside the studio? I am about to buy Sony A6400. I do studio style videos for my KZread channel. Would the kit lens be enough or do you recommend any other lens?

First camera/lens was a Canon T3i with the 18-55mm. Had an a6400 for a while. Hope to get another one soon. I live the portability of the Sony kit lens. So small! Great job on the video as well.

Oh cool! The T3i is what I’ve chosen to start with. I have the standard 18-55mm kit lens but have gotten a 50mm 1.8F and telephoto as part of my starting setup for automotive/basic photography. It’s been great so far and can’t wait to learn with the camera.

Been away with my a6400 and kit lens Prague and Gran Canaria and got some great shots when travelling light

my kit lens is a 28-60mm f4-5 for the Sony A7C.. and I just ordered the Sony 85mm 1.8 as my first prime. Thanks for the vid.

I have the Sony lens in your video. My sharpest shots are done in the 24/35mm equiv to 42/65mm and f5.6 To f8. So whats not to like about a 35-65 lightweight zoom?

a6400 with 18-135mm is an amazing starting combo. You can do so much before reaching the limitations.

Quality post, well paced; three panel images work well, Curtis! Subject lens was my first Sony, on an A6000 - good “training wheels”, acceptable image quality. Firmware makes up for optical limitations. To see this, in LR disable lens correction and notice change in image distortion. Lens profile does the job. Do likewise for other non-kit lenses and you should see less of a difference. (BTW, looks like sun came out after all.😁) Cheers!

Hola Curtis, un video genial, te felicito. La conclusión debería ser "No es la flecha, es el indio", Mis mejores fotografías fueron hace bastantes años con una Fuji de 3 megapíxeles, creo que en ese tiempo desarrolle toda la creatividad que debía desarrollar. Me suscribo ya que he visto varios videos tuyos y me pareces muy agradable y bueno en lo que haces. Saludos amigo,

Great vid!

If you are a best photographer... whatever you have you will get the the best picture... its the theory of him.. you are the best man.. nice skills you have

I have the Sigma 16/30 f1.4, the Rokinon 12m f2 and the Sony Kit 18-135m. I find my self always carrying the kit because of convenience. If I know I'll be shooting in darker hours, I take my tripod to setup a longer shutter to compensate for the lack of fstops. I just feel really restricted whenever I carry any of my primes. Sure they ate sharper but In the end, I think the photos should tell the story not the quality.

My first kit lens was the Sony 18-135 for the Sony a6400(Package deal). But I don't know if I can call it a kit lens. Still, it's a nice lens when you're starting out.

Shawn Dancy, I got the same lens with my A6400 (18-135mm) as you mentioned, not really a kit lens though. Then I picked up the 18-105 F/4 G for video as well. I like the constant aperture of F4 for my video moments. Have you used any Sigma Lenses on your A6400?

Kit Lens are fine if you going to shoot at the same focal length and same F stop when using better lens. True.. The pro level lenses has better control.. sharpness etc etc. Yes. No doubt. But all that aside... in the end. Still alot depend on alot other settings..eg focus area..etc etc and last but not least post process..

Cool Video. I have a Sony/Zeiss 35mmF2.8. And greetings from the rainy North Germany.

Is Sony Alpha 6300 at $ 670 used worth it? Body+ 16-50mm + 55-200mm Surely will have to invest in 50mm 1.8 as well soon enough if I happen to get that mentioned deal I am currently using Nikon D3300 with 50mm 1.8 and a 55-200mm kit lens... But there's just way too many limitations when shooting street photography and low light events... And btw you've got great shots... Subscribed ✌🏻✌🏻

What lens do you recommend for outdoor shooting of models.

Nice Video Curtis I don't think I've used my kit lens in about 5 years as well I mainly use my 30mm or 85mm rarely use my 18-300mm lens. My very first lenses were the 30mm and the 18-300mm lens.

Hi Curtis I have an Sony A6400 and im really stuck between the picture profiles. I want to use this camera for vlogging and also for photos but im an absolute beginner and have no idea on how to get the color working in my favor. I feel like theres no flexibility from filming indoors and walking outdoor. Pls help!

I have the same lens which came with my camera. The only thing that let it down for me was variable aperture there was a look I wanted and couldn’t get that. That being said not that I’m doing more street stuff there no reason why this lens couldn’t achieve good results in the right conditions.

where do people get those little charms where a strap would hook up to. i've been tryin to figure out where to get one.

Would you say the 16-50 mm is good enough for model photography, with good lighting?

Why my photos are kinda blurry not usable photos in just some slightly movement im a beginner do i have to change any settings? Thanks
