Thanks for the positive strokes. I always carry the kit as an option for landscape shots (too cheap to buy any of the alternatives) and it was the right lens for the job on this occasion.

Wow! Beautiful image and very nice monochrome conversion. I was reminded of the recent 18-55 disrespect thread when I saw this...:p

That might be a good excuse for a meet-up. David (IS050) is south on the west side and likes to shoot downtown on Sunday mornings. If we can avoid getting arrested, I always thought it would be fun to shoot adjacent buildings from the upper levels of parking garages.

Nice church shot and an interesting building to boot. It reminds me of the chapel featured at the end of the last episode of "Lost".

Don't feed the troll!!!
I am a real fan of the kit lens and, as a result, am fairly indulgent of some of the hyperbole from other fans. (No need for PP...get real!) Having said that, I will be the first to admit that the kit has its weak points, most of which have been covered in the last couple dozen posts. The important things to remember in regards to the DA 18-55 are:- It is dirt cheap
- It has a useful zoom range
- It truly is a decent performer, not miraculously so, but a decent lens none-the-less
- The manual focus is actually usable
- A newbie can shoot for YEARS with the DA 18-55 coupled with the DA 50-200 and get results from both that will amaze and thrill their friends (assuming they can avoid LBA)
- It is somewhat soft at 55mm and has distortion at 18mm
- Vignette at wide end
- Need extreme shallow DOF?...look elsewhere
- It is dirt cheap
In case the photos on this thread bear too much of the amateur's stamp, I would suggest going to the PPG and browse their selection of kit lens entries:
PENTAX Photo Gallery: DA 18-55/3.5-5.6 AL v1
PENTAX Photo Gallery: DA 18-55/3.5-5.6 AL v2
PENTAX Photo Gallery: DA 18-55/3.5-5.6 AL WR

(The kit is on the not-for-sale list...too good at what it does...unless I replace it with the WR version ;))
