>>3527881>Smaller is in fact easier to manufacture. You will also find high quality glass in kit lenses because much less material is needed.Wrong, making smaller high quality stuff requires greater precision than a bigger stuff with equal quality, which in turn will increase the manufacturing cost. If what you said is true, then all m43 should be cheaper since they use less material, right???
Nope, in fact a high end m43 lens is more expensive than a medium end ff lenses and high end apsc lenses.
Anyway who the hell compares kit lenses? most kit lenses are sharp enough for people who don't know much about camera and their defects are supposed to be corrected in camera.
