Comments about Pentax Pentax SMCP-DA 18mm - 55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL II Autofocus Zoom Lens for Digital SLRs.:

This lens is used with my K100d Super. I ran a few tests in comparison with my SMC A 50mm f1.7 which I consider my sharpest lens. I find that all apertures at the 18mm Focal Length were soft by comparison. The images sharpen up considerably as FL is increased and stay sharp up to the maximum FL.I believe that it will be a good lens to cover a variety of uses. I especially like the close focus.
