HSM autofocusing is quiet and fast compared to conventional screw drive. Internal focus and zoom is a great addition to a lens in this price range. Slightly larger aperture than the various kit lenses. Overall build quality feels far superior to the kit lenses that comes with most DSLRs.
Sharpness and image quality is acceptable, especially in this price range. Obviously softer compared to Canon L lenses or Pentax DA* lenses, but this lens is far cheaper as well. Becomes fairly sharp after a couple of stops.
Overall, it's a good lens for the price. | |
