>>3304039It's kit, if you get it in kit for a good price, go for it, you can always sell it. If not rather go for primes. Buying it extra is completely pointless.

And it's quite slow, especially at larger focal ranges. On other hand, it's fantastically small. 14-42mm pancake... Fantastic for snapshitting crap you'll maybe look once or twice after you take it.
