Re: Improved kit lenses!

I keep my kit lenses because If I sold them I'd only really get a few hundred dollars... Nothing more, the Olympus 14-42 II R is a good lens but I don't use it since I have the 12mm F/2 which is better than the 14-42 II R is at 14mm and also has less depth of field and I keep the 45-150 II again because if I tried to sell it I wouldn't get the money back.

The 14-42 II R really is a good kit lens, it's very sharp at 14mm and also through most of its zoom range, in all honesty my gripe with it is simply that I've got something better and secondly I prefer primes over zooms.

In reality all of this is just my own agenderisations, or predilections or preferences or whatever you want to call it.

The Olympus 14-42 II R is really a very good kit lens.
