Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Solid Performer
Excellent image quality across the entire zoom and aperture range that lives up to the DA* designation. The f/2.8 shutter speed provides for shooting in lower light conditions. Attached to the Pentax K20D, it results in very fast and very quiet focusing, and good color and sharpness characteristics. Only drawback is that this lens is a bit bulky (77 mm diameter opening)and heavy.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Looks and feels solid. Nice bokeh. Wish it had faster AF and better QC.
This lens looks great and feels very solid. Taking into account the professional specs and the price of the lens, it seems to be a real bargain. Well, it is almost true... but not exactly so.

But firstly, the positive:

- Image quality is very good, especially when stepping down by at least one f/stop
- It has good bokeh
- Works with the old "screwdriver" bodies, as well as has SDM

Now, the lemon:

- The quality of this lens is very inconsistent. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent!
I bought this lens shortly after buying my K10D, and I've been really impressed with it. Sharp with fast and quiet AF, it's turned out to be an excellent lens. The price has dropped about $100 in the months since I bought mine, but I don't care, this lens is just that good.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great lens
A great wide to standard zoom lens. It is fast, sharp, and has an extremely rugged build. It is definitely a large, heavy lens compared to the DA 18-55MM, for example. On the other hand, the weather sealing is evident and the focusing ring is large. The SDM is virtually silent, quick, and silky smooth. Overall this lens is well worth the investment.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Bad quality control
After buying this lens I noticed that most pictures were "soft" on the right side. Not on the left. I then did some more specific testing at all focal lengths and aperture values, and found out that the lens was decentered. This lens has had a very big quality control problem that you can read about all over the net. I thought I might get lucky, but I was wrong. Luckily I bought it from Amazon. They have such a great return policy.
