>>2644944>Yes but those 3 ways are limiting factors to anyone hoping to have photographer-quality photos...WHAT???
I'll point out, these are $125 lenses we're talking about.
A better mount is a better mount. It just is.
A better ring is a better ring. It just is. (and a ring can be great for portraits, where you need to adjust focus a bit to keep it on the eyes)
Bokeh is important to a lot of portrait photographers, which is what the 50mm f/1.8 lens is advertised for (80mm on crop, great for portraits)
So again, just because a feature isn't important to you personally, doesn't mean that it isn't important to anyone, or that that person is wrong.
>The focus rings weren't horrible to begin withYou know how I know you haven't used a nifty fifty in years?
Image quality comparisons don't hold up in the real world. Sorry guy. I can see what you're saying, and you aren't wrong, but your dismissal of everyone who isn't you is shameful. The lenses aren't for you. Great. Don't buy them. It's as easy as that.
I don't have an 18-300mm lens. I have no use for it, an it doesn't suit my needs. But I don't pretend that it's a useless lens that nobody should ever buy.
