  And here we have a classic lens kit.
  Not for any "serious" use like the S lens series. *
  For the beginner of beginners, so to speak,
  since... it "covers" a wide range for types of photography.

  24mm for landscape photography where the f-stop here ranges from 4 and above.
  30mm to 40mm for street photography where the f here goes to 4.8 with 5 f-stop if I'm not mistaken.
  50mm for portrait photography where we are now at 6.3 f-stop with a wonderful bokeh at 6.3 f.
  I'm crying!

  So 24-50mm with an aperture starting at 4 f at 24mm and at maximum zoom, that is, at 50mm it automatically goes to 6.3. *
  Lenses that are not for professional use do these little tricks.
  Or else, variable aperture lenses... yesss...
  That is, lenses that as we zoom, their aperture closes resulting in darkening + vignetting the photo.
  Vignette in Greek is "βινιετα" which is the reduction of brightness as well as saturation at the edges of the frame* like having shadows, even in very good lighting conditions on a sunny day.
  You will have to spend "time and money" to go into Photoshop to fix it sometimes.*
  And no, if you try at 50mm to lower the f, obviously it won't go to 4 f or somewhere in between.*
  It will stay stuck at 6.3 f, right?*
  Nice.
  Sharpness? For a beginner, yes, just fine.*
  Colors? Also the same.*
  Material? Plastic and glass (and glass obviously of mediocre quality and below).*

  And finally, my laughter and irony (as well as the little stars in some sentences) come and stand here.
  PRICE? At 520 euros... the lowest.

  Dude, ARE YOU KIDDING?

  Verified purchase

  Coming from an APS-C camera, this particular lens came bundled with the Nikon z5 and has left me with the best impressions so far. The quality of the photos is much higher compared to what I was used to. Since I don't have a telephoto lens for the new system yet, I had to heavily crop some photos and there I noticed some weaknesses in sharpness, which is the only negative thing I can attribute. I think if it wasn't in the kit, I would prefer one of the 28mm/40mm primes instead and aim for the 24-200mm whenever I had the corresponding money to spend. In any case, I consider it a very decent lens. I have attached some unedited photos.
