No matter what, you canโt come up with a better KIT. You can take it on vacation with you. Definitely better than 18-55. The price/quality ratio is almost perfect. Different pros: Soundly made. Nothing backlash. Distortions are small and it pleases. Good stub and fast AF. Low price. Blend included. Got cons: The title of universal is clearly not drawn. A little dark is true, but for 18-105 it is not fatal. Not enough sharpness. Lacks angle when shooting close-ups and landscapes. Absolutely not suitable for macro. A good portrait is problematic to do the same, because. does not blur the background well.
