Pentax 16 - 45 / 4,0 ED AL

This is a great lens. I bought it for $750. The images a great. The lens is a bit heavy. The AF is near silent but not really any faster than the kit 18-55mm. I love the 2.8 fixed aperture. Great replacement for the kit lens.

A SUPERB LENS

I don't think I can add much more than reinforcement of what has already been stated.Comparing this lens to two primes, the Pentax FA50 and the Pentax FA35, yes this zoom lens is good but it is not as good as those primes. When I say good I mean...
