Re: You bring up some good points, and...

Ben, great post. A few years ago I reduced my work schedule on anticipation of retirement, my youngest left for college, and I inherited a little money. First things I bought were an amp from a British company, a turntable from an Austrian company, a high end cartridge from a US company, a pre amp and a headphone amp.  I started out with budget price but excellent speakers but planned to upgrade in a few months as I understand more about high fidelity sound.  And  that is as far as I went down that rabbit hole. I like what I have but I look at the headphone amp I rarely use and realize I hit the right point to stop.

Then I went down the photography rabbit hole and I am still digging!  I think I need one more body (could be M100?) and there is wide angle lens I want. Another really long telephoto would be fun and my computer needs a total upgrade. Maybe sticking with sound systems might actually have been cheaper!

I am enjoying photography a lot more though. One difference is that camera clubs provide a lot of opportunities for shooting new  places and things, learning from accomplished speakers and providing a social connection with people with a common interest.

As to the original subject of post, the canon kit lenses, am on my phone so all the posted images look about the same but I am very interested in people’s opinions. I maybe just one good black friday discount away from owning one!
