Does anyone have this lens yet and what are your impressions IQ-wise? I've seen Ned Bunnell's shots with it and they look very good for a kit lens.

Very happy with mine so far. Taken on a K7:

impressive for a kit lens. I wont be surprised if there would be a price hike for these kit lenses as well.

It's the same optically as the version II kit lens that has been shipping with the K20D and K200D for the last year+, as well as the "L" version that ships with the K2000. So any samples you see from any of those might as well have come from the new WR version.
