[Tocsin_786]

it comes with alot of shit, im thinking of getting a dslr and this seems like a good purchase can go along with a DSLR.

Yea all pretty useless stuff. Except the 5$ dust blower.

The sun hood might also be useful.

[Ezekeal]

not the best stuff, like all previos posts said

[FIXXX]

If all that stuff is so useless - why doesn't it have 1-2 stars mostly? Seems to me that they have their uses - to the right people, those with less experience or need for pro-level equipment.

You do realize that a tremendous amount of amazon reviews are faked or heavily incentivized? Basically they do stuff like give out products for free to customers so they show up as "verified" and ask them for a good review in exchange etc...

 

That is why you see items with no reviews that nobody ever bought and all of a sudden 1 week later there are 30+ 5 star reviews and the product is now in the most popular category because they time it so that it's all bought around the same time.

A real lens hood uses a different and secure mount, these cheap ones attach to the filter thread which can cause problems and fall off

If you see a "professional" using any of those, then you seriously need to reevaluate your idea of what being a professional means.

 

Everything in that kit is cheap junk, not to mention there is literally 0 (zero) reason to use a colored filter. There are certain things you just don't bother with as some things are just as easily done in editing as they are when actually shooting (i.e. white balance, filters, etc... -- only polarizing filters can't be added in post processing).  

 

/Theres a reason why the CHEAPEST lens you can buy from Nikon is over $100, and even thats a pretty bad -- entry level kit lens. Decent glass is expensive, and is the last thing you want to be cheap-ing out on.

Whoops, i meant "NO need for professional equipment

I don't think that's fair to say. The cleaning kit is decent and the remote shutter is useful (does not work with the D3100 though).

It's a lot cheaper to just buy those two things separately though.

[ShadowCaptain]

personally I think that kid is horrible and wouldnt touch it

[Sousuke]

A single clear UV Filter is all I'd use out of this, and thats just to help prevent scratches on the lens itself :lol:

I mean, it's hard to screw up a blower and microfiber clothes...so :unsure:
