PENTAX DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Weather Resistant Lens for Pentax Digital SLR Camera
Customer Reviews
Fairly sharp lens. Lens construction seems to have good tight fit.
Picture quality is good. There is enough detail to show off the 14 mpix of the K20d sensor.
"Shift focus" is kind of a nice feature.
When K20d/K10d is set in auto focus, and the shutter button is not pressed down, the lens can be focus manually by simply turning the focus ring. No need for push/pull of focus ring for manual focus like the Tokinas.
One draw back is the focus ring turns when auto-focusing. Must keep finger away until it is done auto-focusing.
(FYI, the Nikons SilentWaveMotor lens has the same "shift focus" feature, but the focus ring does not turn when auto-focusing.)
According to the manual, 'WR' lens feature moisture resistant, but 'dust resistant' is not listed as a feature.
DA is listed as moisture and dust resistant. (this is only a WR, and not priced like a DA)
Not shown in the photo is the red rubber ring at the lens mount which seal the lens mount assembly when installed on the SLR.
Worth the $$$.
Bought this lens 3 weeks ago and I am really pleased with it.
I actually replaced the old 18-55 kit lens Version I with this lens
and I can really see the difference in contrast and sharpness .. So much better.
Definitely a great lens for the price.
The lens arrived on time and in perfect condition from Amazon.
Pros: Lightweight, super sharp and contrasty and Weather resistant.
Cons: A bit slow f5.6 55mm
