Pros: fast-ish, sharp-ish, decent built, full frame
Cons: noisy when focusing, rotating front element

Mediocre lens. It is ergonomic with comfortable zoom and focus rings. The presence of an aperture ring and being a full frame lens is a nice plus. Stopped down to 8-11. it can be sharp. Contrast and color rendition are far from my M50 1.4 or my A35-105 3.5. It shows PF in hard situations even when stopped down. Noisy when focusing but it is not an irritating sound.

Built quality is low.

Pros: Small & light, decent IQ
Cons:

This is a nice, small, fast-ish lens. It has solid IQ for a consumer zoom, especially closed down a couple stops. Wide open it's a little soft. I compared it to the 18-55 kit lens (version 1) and found that this lens performs better all the way around. I've since moved on to the Tamron 28-75 XR, which is again better all the way around, but at 2x the size, weight & cost.

I'd recommend this lens if you want an inexpensive step up from the kit lens, or a small, light travel zoom.

Pros: Great for night shots, real clear
Cons: none yet

I realy like this lens, even though I don't know how to do a Pro review I would recomend this lens. It took awesome shots at a Xmas Boat Parade last year. And some awesome sunsets too.
