I got this on a cheap P30t body, so essentially for free.
Full disclosure, I much prefer primes to zooms.
I find this lens horrible to use. The zoom is so loose, that tilting it even slightly will zoom in/out, and focusing is never enjoyable*. Somehow it has a perfectly bad combination of dimensions and weight to feel "wrong" in my hands.
Compared to the plastic 18-55 kit lens that came with my K-70, this feels cheap and sloppily put together. I haven't been able to get a good photo with it, but since I find it so horrible to use I haven't tried all that much.
It's a good thing that it clicks into macro mode, that means the zoom won't shift when moving the camera, and it makes for a somewhat usable macro.
I doubt I'd pay $10 for one if mine broke.
* the extremely loose zoom might indicate my copy is worse than average. |
