one man's trash is another's treasure & vice versa #perspectiveiseverything, granted the hyperbole of the colloquialism 'trash' exaggerates a perhaps valid critique about the quality of the lens not being a particularly standout performer, but of course it isn't trash...the 16-50mm power zoom kit lens is a perfectly capable lens but it does seem as if there were some compromises made, optically (maybe moreso than a typical kit lens) for size and the power zoom function...i think the previous analog 18-55mm was maybe a bit better but the power zoom tries to strike the balance between size, price, & optics to fit its relatively large sensor but fairly small form factor.quote]
[COLOR=#red]Now that's more like it. Someone who actually realizes the aspect of tradeoffs. I have the 50mm 1.8 and the 55-210 and even though they aren't the Zeiss branded E-Mount lenses they perform better than the kit lens, but the kit lens sacrifices slightly for portability reasons while still being capable of taking great shots. But to say it's trash is ludicrous. [/COLOR]
It definitely lacks in the optics. I got the a6000 to replace my D5100. Since I got my D810 it has been sitting in the corner so why not get something small and less of a hassle. I enjoy the size of a6000 but miss the sharpness of my nikon primes.
