A great, durable, easy to use, high-quality lens with moderate zoom range.
Weather resistance was the main reason for building this lens, and it works extremely well. Build quality + materials are first-rate. The camera mount is not metal, but no-one should worry in the least about the superb plastic mount which is perfectly machined and appears bulletproof. Optics are not perfect or "high-end", but they are very good for an easy-to-use, general use, walk around, weather resistant lens. Controls are firm and precise. The AF is quiet, does not "hunt", and the auto-aperture functions perfectly. As part of the Pentax K-mount family, this 18-55mm lens does exactly what it was designed to do and allows good utility, moderate flexibility and extended ease of use in bad conditions.

Good quality non-WR all purpose, walk-around AF lens
Camera used: new Pentax K-3. OBSERVED POSITIVES: AF and autoexposure are fast and accurate at all focal lengths. AF is quiet and does not "hunt". MF is quick and easy to use. Very minor CA and flare evident at 18mm (not unusual). Overall good to excellent resolution at all focal lengths. Colours are rich, very realistic. Lens seems well-built, solid, durable, does not feel "cheap" in any way. Simplicity, robustness, weight, and ease-of-use are ideal for an all-purpose, walk-around lens. OBSERVED NEGATIVE: lens is not weather-resistant. After a few months of daily outdoor use, some visible dust internal to lens is now seen. This is not major, but can affect pre-edited images especially when shooting directly into point source light. SUMMARY: very good value AF lens, good zoom range, excellent K-3 compatibility. Very good usability, portability, construction toughness, overall sharpness, ease of use. Closer macro would be nice. Internal dust over the long-term may turn out to be a problem (unknown). Overall, this is a very useful lens of high quality, but do not expect perfection.
