Q&A: Why are DSLR camera lenses so expensive?

Posted on April 23, 2024

Note: The links in this post are affiliate links.

Question from Carol: My daughter has enrolled in a professional photography class that’s scheduled to begin real soon.

One of the requirements for taking the class is to purchase a new DSLR camera and lens.

The instructor has provided a list of three cameras and seven lenses from which the students can choose, and he won’t allow substitutions of any kind.

She has decided to go with the cheapest Canon camera on the list because it fits within our budget.

The problem we’re having is choosing a lens. This is the cheapest lens on the list and it literally costs twice as much as the most expensive camera!

I think that’s ridiculous. Why on earth are camera lenses so much more expensive than the cameras themselves?

Question from Adam:  I read an article the other day that discussed the advantages and disadvantages of building your own computer from scratch as opposed to buying one off the shelf.

It really caught my attention when they said that you can save money by building a PC with used parts purchased on eBay.

I’d really like to build my own computer and save some money, but the article only discussed building a desktop computer. What I really need is a laptop.

In your opinion, is it really possible to save money by building my own laptop? [Read more…]
