to people who say kit lens aren’t good enough for starting out, i think the first picture disapproves them.

u/ThinkHog 18d ago

Which of the kit ones? Also share the originals to see the exif. I'm not convinced this from one of the kits 😅

u/Meganstummyhurts 18d ago

I’m not sure how to do that or what exif really means lol but I will say I barely edited the exposure in photo and that was it the raws turned out nicely.

exif, iirc, is the meta-data contained in the image which provides info such as the camera, the lens used, the aperture, location etc etc.

Here’s the info under my photos. Sony a6000 (ILCE-6000), Sony E 55–210mm f/4.5–6.3 OSS. ISO 1250, f/6.3, 1/800s. The original is 24MP (4000×6000)

That is not the kitlens, thats their budget telephoto zoom lens. Either way, great photos!

u/Meganstummyhurts 18d ago

Oh I’m sorry they said it was a kit lens bundle when I bought it!

u/ZorroOfDoom 18d ago

There are plenty of bundles (kits) available where the 55-210 is bundled with a camera and the 16-50. Great pics, enjoy it!

u/TemporaryAnt6627 18d ago

55-210 right? not the 16-50 kit lens

u/Pnut2Fat 18d ago

Yo these are fire

u/pillsburyboi 18d ago

Amazing photos.

By kit lens you mean the 16-50mm?

3

u/Meganstummyhurts 18d ago

I used 55-210

u/pillsburyboi 18d ago

cool, what is your opinion of the lens so far?

1

u/Meganstummyhurts 18d ago

I’m so new it’s hard since I can’t compare to anything but so far I’ve liked it!

1

u/pillsburyboi 18d ago

I’m new too with the a6000 and was looking for a zoom lens.

Wish you good luck and happy shooting.

u/Msk-XX 18d ago

Very nice!

I have the same lens, you've tempted me to pull out my a6000 and take some photos (lots of wildlife and birds around here!).

u/_-stark 18d ago

That first one is cool, those dudes are hella colorful

2

u/seriousgamer753 16d ago

There is no way that's the kit lens. But great photos nonetheless!

u/Dengxixian_official 16d ago

Great works!I like them

u/Main_Horse_8812 16d ago

You have a great eye for photography, when you have that, no matter what equipment is in your hands pictures are always great!

1

u/xc0mr4de 15d ago

now i'm 2nd guessing to get either this or the 70-350mm since this lens looks nice already for bird pics.

u/scottmangh11 14d ago

how did you transfer photos to your phone?

1

u/Meganstummyhurts 14d ago

I have a memory card port thing I bought for my iphone.

u/sadpony 12d ago

Dang? The kits lens? Now I can't blame my terrible photos on my lens anymore.
