• Pentax 18-55 da II zoom lens
  Don't even hesitate to buy this lens. It is as sharp in my tests as Super Takumar primes as well as East German Carl Zeiss screw mount primes.
  Love the color rendition and contrast this lens produces. Even if your wallet is overflowing with cash, the lightweight flexibility and insanely low price makes it want to travel without fear of loss, damage, or cramping your style. Can't comment on the original version, but many tend to equate more $$ = better pictures. All I can say is: no lens at this price... more info

• Surprisingly good optics for a value-priced lens
  A noticeable improvement over the first edition of this lens. Lightweight and small and the optics stand up to the much higher priced lenses. I recommend this lens to anyone interested in a great lightweight walk-around zoom.

• A step above the previous version of this lens
  It's still a "kit" lens but the improvement is visible especially with the lens wide open. It has replaced my previous kit lens as an easy go-to lens for travel when concerns with expensive gear might spoil the fun.

• Nice improvement
  This lense is a nice improvement over the original 18-55MM. You have about a 1 F-stop change in light transmission. The edges are much clearer. This is the best kit lense by far compared to any competitor.
