Pros:Well done,tropicalized ,light,minimum MaF distance of 25 cm
Cons:At 55 AF sometimes it's a mischief
Opinion:I picked up this 18/55 after almost 10 years (purchased with the K7) and then put it in a drawer to use a Tamron 18/200 as everything do . Out of curiosity I took it back to use it a bit and it stunned me . Compared to Tamron there is no history, with others I do not. Only precaution if you use for close-up images ,portraits etc close a little the diaphragm the sharpness improves a lot (at 18 mm even at 5.6 ... rather raise the iso) A greeting to all Piero

Pros:Build quality, tropicalized, metal bayonet, Quickshift focus
Cons:Blender Autofocus
Opinion:Honest kit lens that nothing has to envy to the other 18-55 but with some extra features that are appreciated and that make it usable for a long time without you feel the immediate need to switch to more professional lenses. Introduces the design of modern Pentax optics. It's weather sealed, so it resists the interperie. I used it in the snow, in the fog and with water splashes without problems. The focus is through the engine of the machine body, which involves a little ' noise but the speed is definitely acceptable. It has the Quickshift focus that allows immediate switching from autofocus to manual focus by tapping the focus ring. Optically asks to be closed at least one stop to compensate for a slight softness typical of entry-level zoom lenses. The yield to the center is good and at the edges recovers diaphragming. The chromatic aberrations are very contained, almost absent I would say.
Cons:I would say only the variable aperture not very bright (common problem with kit lenses), AF noisy
Opinion:"Battle" Kit Zoom that has its strength in being weather sealed and have the quick shift function for the focus. Used in the rain and snow without ever having a problem. It has a good image quality even though as all the kits has a very dark variable aperture. The classic lens to always keep in the bag and to be used in adverse weather conditions.
Opinion:I have been able to use it in different situations, obtaining good shots.rnThe general perception of solidity, with metal ring and materials pleasant to the touch.rnExcellent the request of focusing, sliding but not elusive zoom.rnA great value and 'the tropicalization, important for those who take the camera anywhere, regardless of the weather.rnVince in comparison with other brands, always in the category zoom kit 18-55 obviously.rnVale worth buying it in kits, saving several euros compared to the same item sfuso.rn
Pros:optics and build quality, weather sealing, metal bayonet
Cons:Price on new, af slightly noisy (totally acceptable)
Opinion:Standard really good quality lens, light years ahead of the standard zoom Canon Nikon.rnDal and construction point of view, Pentax has used good quality plastics adding tropicalization, making him an all-rounder in all conditions atmosferica.rnDal optical point of view, the lenses are treated against dirt and to facilitate the compensation of chromatic aberrations; offer good quality images even if to get the most out of this lens should be used more than 5.6.rnI defects diaphragms are the high price and the new af slightly noisy but absolutely not fastidioso.rnIn conclusion lens absolutely recommended to buy in kit with the camera, or in used.
Pros:Weather sealed, light, compact, resistance to flare
Cons:dark, price, low to TA
Opinion:Objective, value, if purchased used (traveling between 50 and 80 Euros) or in a kit with the camera. List Price mondo.rnResistenza to flare out very good, weather sealed, optically very good. rnHa only a defect to zoom economic: the need to close the aperture of at least one stop. Very well built, the envy to zoom canikon from hundreds of euro in più.rnIn conclusion: if you find it used or in a kit with the camera you need, buy it will surprise you. If you want to buy a zoom lens with focal these, go to the altro.Come 18-135,16-85,16-45 etc ...
Pros:+ Me and a great lens even though it was in the K3 kit I made some good photos
Cons:no defect
Opinion:is not a limited but that's fine for those who are content and do not have much capital available. x me is great I used a Nikon D80 with a 18-135 but I have returned to my old love I possess is still the Pentax MX and K100 Analogiche.ho The updated my park 3 optical 35mm 55-300 -50-200 the old Macro 100mm 1.4 and are willing to 100mm Macro WR, and of course I find the K3 Favolosa. Hello
Pros:Lightweight and compact, very sharp from f5.6 onwards and from 35 to 55.
Cons:Under the values ??I mentioned is of reasonable quality.
Opinion:Used in the right range produces images of some importance. Despite being one of zoomino kit is always a good zoom. Tropcalizzato, lightweight and versatile. Very sharp at focal lengths from 35 to 55 is at his best after f5.6. Therefore I agree with "is dim ..." but it has its place in the bag. I really like the care that Pentax puts in the design of its objectives, considering that on the hood have a crack Decree (opens a small door) in order to act on the filters without removing it. Not much, but gains points ....
Pros:light, small, cheap, good optical performance, weatherproof
Cons:dim, detectable distortion at 18-24mm, defining the edges not exceptional
Opinion:As part of the optical "budget", the 18-55 WR stands on a slightly higher level than other proposals is that Pentax other brands. Treatment weatherproof construction visibly cured, and the excellent price / performance ratio (road this lens is also to under 150 €) are the plus points of this lens. Brightness, risolvenza and distortion are about average for this category of products.
Pros:lightweight, compact, good image rendering, tropicalized
Cons:dim, wide open aperture is not constant
Opinion:I bought this lens as a kit with the K7 and I got to use it a couple of years. Now "replaced" by the Pentax SMC DA 16-45 f / 4 ED AL. Replaced, but only in part, on some occasions I use it again. Initially I was not satisfied, the yield did not like it, then I realized that the problem was in K7 (strong backfocus can only be corrected via debug mode). After fixing the K7 I could appreciate the good optical performance of this lens at all focal lengths especially if you close a couple of the aperture stop. In my opinion is worth much more than it costs. The focal range is classic and versatile. Since WR (weather sealed) it can be used safely in all weather conditions without any problems.
