can I say its a zoom lens? I think 5x~7x is enuf for zoom photography....
also will I have a good 1080p video with it?
Q:the high zoom lenses are long in length?
but u said Video is not good with it...dats y i m hesitant to invest in kit lens...
u mean second hand lens???
I am thinking of buying Raynox DCR-250 for macro photography..what u say?
1. nope 5x-7x is not at all enough for zoom...coz its not even zoom...u know zoom as magnification right??
thats the reason in SLR world we dont say zoom...
as i said a 50mm lens will give you picture what ur eyes see...so u can count it as 0 zero zoom ....thats the reason most budget level zoom lens start from 55 or 70 like 55-200, 55-300, 70-300 etc
so in that way a 18-55 have no zoom at all and a 18-105 have max 2x zoom...understood
for proper bird shot or wildlife u need minimum 300mm which give descent zoom...like nikkor 55-300mm for 18k
as I said before taking video with a zoom lens is not a good idea...coz of technical things..its much better to invest in canon for video...they have better video taking capability and cheap canon 50mm 1.8 will autofocus.
bro kit lens is useful u dont know yet....like 10 days before at a party 15 people were sitting side by side...I would not have able to take that pic without wide lens...there 18 mm help..

this pic I could not have taken without wide format...if I have to take this pic with 50mm I will have to go nearly 10 meter more away..then how will I see the people...undertood
