p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Two lenses I got w/ an SL1 - Maybe not worth it? | |
I recently got a Canon Rebel SL1 because I liked the one I converted to IR so much when I was testing it prior to sending it to LivePixel, that when B&H had it on sale, I grabbed it. Plus, I always wanted a white Canon.
It came w/ 2 lenses, their kit-lens, the EF-S 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6, IS, STM; and the 75-300mm, F/4-5.6, III.
Before I bought the two lenses, I checked the reviews on both because I could have purchased the body only, the kit lens with the body, or all three. I figured that the 70-300, though not rated real high, was being sold for with the body and kit for a great price, so I could see if I could sell it on Craigslist.com for about $100, or if I like it, I'll keep it. Meanwhile, the kit lens got really decent reviews for a non-L lens; some even comparing it to an "L light."
The last couple of days I finally got out to take some landscape photos and I was surprised that neither lens took very good pictures. Have I become a Canon lens snob, being that I have mostly "L" lenses, Zeiss, and a few premium medium frame lenses that I use (Mamiya)? Or are they just THAT BAD
Here is the best picture I took with each lens. PLEASE tell me if I'm being over-critical or what you think.
Thanks - Bill
