Pros: 1:3 "macro", point&shoot/deep DOF@24, sharpness when stopped down a bit, color rendition
Cons: a little soft wide open, some CA
Sharpness: 9    Aberrations: 8    Bokeh: 7    Handling: 10    Value: 9    Camera Used: K-r   

I needed something wide enough to do some landscape/family/street photos while having the possibility to zoom in the scene when needed, found this one, and quite happy with it.
Usefull range, it sticks to my K-r since i received it, i'll post some sample shot when i'll get back home as i always do in my reviews, better than my bad english

Wide open 1:3 (or so)







f5.6


And some "landscape" use



In everyday use





edit: I'm giving it a better rating since i made some real nice shots with, very good performer and a real pleasure to use
edit2: a notch down for the bokeh from 8 to 7, rarely seen in "normal" 24-45 mode, but only on macro/proxy shot.
edit3 160516 Overall notch up, this zoom is a really really nice one
