How this kit is built: lenses are matched to your camera's mount and sensor and scored for your genre on the focal length they give on your body; the first lens is in the total, the others are alternatives. Accessories pass compatibility rules: the right card class for your slot, a battery and grip that fit, filters in your lens's thread, a tripod rated for the kit's weight.
