Suggested I post here. This is a MOST surprising lens, especially for the plastic construction and feel. This is slightly cropped, but otherwise unedited. Amazing for a $10 thrift store buy.

Nice shots... I've got the A version and it is just as nice, albeit sans auto focus

This is my go-to kit lens for outdoor family stuff (need auto everything)... it is great at portraiture, and wide enough in crop-sensor to get the whole crew in a single shot

'Unterer Giglachsee' (unterer = lower; See = lake) in the Austrian Central Alps.

I was unaware this thread existed! I bought an SF10 *just* because this lens was sitting on it (and the camera was like $15 bucks).

Snow cooled lake along the Giglach high trail, Austria.

The A-version of this lens was the second zoom lens I bought new back in the day. Still have it. The F-version has same optics I believe. Picked it up last year from a Forum member for $30. When I can match the limited APSC zoom range with my subject, it's a great walking around lens. All photos shot RAW with a K-3ii then saved as .jpg using DCU5. Yacht shots taken with polarizer and DCU natural setting. Gnome shot taken without polarizer and processed with DCU5 vibrant setting.

My 4 YO is into these "dollies"... I have to play with her every single day. She got names for all of them (about 10 or so)...

I finally got an SMC copy to replace my non-SMC version.
