The ultimate value. The best "kit" lens by far ...
|
It's pretty universal, Pentax's DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL "kit" lens is pretty much the best kit lens out there. Although it still leaves much to be desired, it does what it does for the price, and outclasses virtually all other dSLR vendor "kit" lenses on their bodies. I skipped this lens with my K100D and was planning on buying the much more expensive DA 16-45mm f/4.0. But after reading reviews on the select issues with the DA 16-45 (which is still a good lens overall, don't get me wrong), I decided to buy this lens and wait on the DA 17-70mm planned for 2008. Note that I use the Pentax AF 28-105mm f/4.0-5.6 as my default lens, and a Zenitar FE 16mm f/2.8 as my ultra-wide angle lens, so this lens doesn't see much action.
But for when I want a solid, basic image quality around 24mm, with the option of going slightly wider (with softness on the corners) or somewhat longer (with excellent IQ), I put this sucker on my K100D, often with a 52mm Hoya circular polarizer filter. |
