Message: <blockquote data-quote="aroy" data-source="post: 291636" data-attributes="member: 16090">The kit lense which came with my D3300 is an excellent lense within its limitations (aperture 3.5 at 18mm and 5.6 at 55mm). That apart I have shot razor sharp images at both the ends. The primes beat it in sharpness, but that is not discernible if you do not pixel peek. In fact initially most of my shots were "soft" more due to my hands shaking than due to the lense. Once I figured that out and started using the in built flash as a strobe, the sharpness increased tremendously.So I would suggest that you use your kit lense to get razor sharp perfectly exposed shots before moving on to another lense. If you look at my shots posted in this forum, you will not find much difference between the 18-55 kit lense and the two of my favourite primes - 35mm F1.8 and the 50mm F1.8. It is only when I use the F1.8 to F4 aperture that the difference is evident.</blockquote>
