Jim, I agree with your perspective on cost/benefit of expensive photographic equipment. However, there are several variables determining equipment purchases. If you find yourself doing primarily wildlife photography, the kit lens will continually frustrate you. Similarly, if you find macro photography is what you do most of, the kit lens will also prove highly unsatisfactory over time. The same is true, by the way, with Canon, where the kit lens is not even as good as the Nikor. For general photography, the kit lens serves well; and, yes, the content of a photo is more important than a technically refined image. The law of diminishing returns applies to photography, too. A more expensive lens may offer some greater level of polish to an image, but this contribution seldom approaches the importance of a creative perspective and a good sense of composition. .... By the way, nice to be in Arizona. Lots to photograph there! Enjoy.


Fortunately I only spent a week in Phoenix and am back to the quiet of Marion. For those of you who haven't followed previous threads I was a native of Phoenix for 57 years. I now reside in a Kansas, where oh by the way, we do have TORNADOS!!! Here's a shot of Greensburg KS a year after it was devistated.

By the looks of the second shot I'll quit my complaining about our snow storms.
