I think that people who are not happy with their kit lens may sell it rather than keep it. So de-kitted lenses that are sold are probably at least sometimes not-so-good ones.

I suspect the OP is referring to de-kitted lenses sold by dealers who split the kit and sell it rather than individuals who have used it and found fault.

My 14-141 MkII came to me secondhand but mint in a G6 kit & I sold the body when I upgraded to a de-kitted G7 body. My copy of the lens is razor sharp for what it is
