I was able to pick up one of these, used, but in excellent condition, with the hood and both lens caps. Retail new around $379 ... got it used from Japan $200 with free shipping, Great weather proof lens as an all purpose walk around. Solid metal build quality (but heavy), very sharp, and a very utilitarian lens. Unless you need a super telephoto you can leave the rest of your lenses at home. If you have this ...I only see the need for a quality prime 28 or 35mm f2,8 or faster for low light shooting. I use this on a Pentax K5 which is an APS-C so the actual focal length in 35mm film terms is 27-200mm. Glad I got it .The seller from Japan also shipped it quickly, I had it in less than a week.

Yes this lens is smooth durable , I like it that it is light weight and small but don't expect to be that sharp also you can easy find the dark corners in very large aperture when you take picture . Generally it is what you need so far . Thanks

Takes good sharp ,colour accurate pictures throughout the focal range, best at 35 to 120 mm and at 5.6 F or higher, but still very good outside those ranges. A perfect walk around lens for outdoor work mountain climbing, on safari or in harsh climates like wind swept beaches, desert and the like while hiking.

If you don't want to carry several lenses with you that lens is the choice for good average results. This is actually improved in optics18-55mm kit. Pros: Compact size - For a superzoom lens, it's actually quite compact, noticeably smaller and lighter than any 18-2xx zoom out there. It is weather sealing and that makes it perfect for holidays and travelling in any demanding weather conditions. Fast auto focus and at a reasonable price (I bought it for $199 on E-bay). Cons: Sharpness outside the center is poor with visible distortion and CA. Conclusion: Great lens for general purposes and no brain use situations.

Just upgraded two steps in quality to this lens. Wish I'd found it years ago. MUCH BETTER low-light photos compared to the "kit" 18-55mm len. Lens coating and weather-protections are plus-plus. Autofocus is impressive: So quiet, fast, and very precise to fields of focus. Areas closer to the corners of photos were sharper with no distracting distortions. The lens functions are 100% compatible to my Pentax K10D after software update 1.30 installed. It weighs is a little more, but it makes the photos professional quality, so it is worth it to me because the more dynamic zoom range of 18-135mm let me take two lens out of my camera bag. I plan to use just this one lens for 99% of the ~10,000 photos I average taking every year. After seeing it's performance, I decided I did not need to switch to a Canon 5D Mark iii in the foreseeable future to get the quality of photos I wanted.Read full review
