      And you get 2 lenses with largely overlapping focal ranges, one worse (55-250) than the other (70-300), which is pointless.

      I want to echo how it is totally not a deal when the lenses are nearly identical in purpose.
      Instead, get the EF 17-40mm F/4L, EF 70-200mm f/4L, and the Nifty Fifty and you will be golden.

      But you'll have no gold left after forking it all over for those L lenses.

      Even if you were to resell these lenses, you'd be better off just buying the body or body+kit lens.

      Lol, 2 of basically the same lenses.
      These people try anything to sell these kits.
      ...And you know they've sold some to people who just see a lot of numbers and know nothing.
