February 4, 2007: Our exhaustive research (OK, we got one email from a listener in this position) tells us that many of you got new DSLRs for the holidays.

If you’re thinking of taking the next step and upgrading the kit lens, Popular Photography covers the basics of how to choose a lens in this article, The Right Lens for the Job:

Are your pictures just okay — not spectacular? If so, the problem may be your lens. The kit lenses sold with most DSLRs today are true bargains, but can be limiting. Engineers designed them to have compact proportions, light weight, and small price tags. Made for average photographers, shooting in average conditions, with average subjects at average shooting distances, they excel at producing average pictures.

I think that’s a little harsh. I’ve seen some outstanding pictures taken with kit lenses, and my guess is that the average “kit” lens is still superior to those of any point-and-shoots.

Still, it is true that they are limiting. You can’t go too far, too wide or too dark. If you’re ready to exceed those limits, check out the whole article at the link above.
