Macro-ish with the best kitlens there is...
Lens: SMC Pentax-DA 18-55 WR Camera: Pentax K-5 Photo Location: Home, NL Aperture: F11 
Posted By: Rense, 04-27-2013, 06:44 AM

I sold my old 18-55, and decided to have it replaced by the WR-version. In my job, as field biologist, it's nice to have at least one of the WR-lenses!
Mounted it on my K-5, with the addition of 25mm of tubes (Kenko, yes, the AF ones!)

I think Pentax makes one of the best kitlenses out there, there's not that much wrong with it (probably except for its sluggishness....). But it's sharp and it makes very decent photos!

Here some of the results!

Very nice and sharp, I'll have to get mine off the shelve and give it another try

Very nice captures. I have the second version of this lens, but it's not WR. I'll have to try it out.
