Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-DA L 18-50mm F4-5.6 DC WR RE I love this lens because it's a small zoom.

That's something I cannot find in this size - in Pentax lens division.
I order it from e bay,
as an unpaired kit without the body.

I read reviews, and decide to give it the try. For 100 dollars it's a good value.

Sharpness in f:4 is a bit creamy, but in 5.6 on zoom end it's better, and acceptable.
I owned old kit, and this is better.
Lens is plasticy but yet solid feel, and I don't mind for that, because I want lighter combo.
And with KP it's paired very well

I haven't try lens on small aperrtures like f16, or smaller.
From what I see, it's a great value, and only lens in this size - to be zoom.
Bokeh is not big plus, because of starting point at f:4 in wide end, but you can get one with 5.6 in Zoom at 50 mm. And it's not bad at all.
Creamy touch, with no distortion. Love it.

All in all - if you want the nice compact all around zoom lens - I think this is the only one, and it satisfied the needs |
