General Comments
I purchased this lens with my Pentax ZX-50 in $250 from Cameraworld a year ago. It's not perhaps built to last but very short, light and easy to operate. I found it quiet sharp at the center at all focal lengths if stopped down. At the long end it has a tendency to lose sharpness with aperture wide open. Autofocus is good. Image color both in daylight and in flash is acceptable.
