Deze lens vervangt de kit lens 18 - 55 mm AL-WR (overigens een prima lens, zeker voor de prijs). De 16-85 mm is wel een stuk beter. Door het vrijwel ontbreken van chromatische aberratie mooi scherp en briljant. Zoals gebruikelijk neemt de scherpte toe met twee stoppen diafragmeren. Vanaf f 8 is dat duidelijk waarneembaar om bij f 11 echt mooi te zijn. Ik gebruik de lens op een Pentax K3-II en heb het idee dat de communicatie met de firmware (de laatste update!) zeer goed werkt. Helemaal open en op 16 mm tekent de lens wat zacht, maar nog altijd binnen redelijke toleranties en prima in de nabewerking bij te sturen. Al met al een flinke kwaliteitsstap t.o.v. de kit lens en zeker de investering waard.

First ordered this lens from the used department and returned. Then ordered this lens new- what a huge difference. This lens is sharp and zooms well. Easy return of the used lens- thanks B&H! One negative about the buying experience- do not count on expedited shipping even when it claims to be. More like 4-5 day shipping.

Ive had this lens for over a year. I use it for landscapes and travel, its a well rounded lens with nice image quality, Ive printed at 11x17 and up to 20x30 with this and the 24mp k3ii camera. I use it alone, or pair it with the 55-300, a macro lens, other other options to complement its versatile range. As long as its bright enough outside, or you have a tripod, theres little left to be desired.

I have had this lens for some months now, and Im very happy with it. This is my on the go lens, and is attached to my camera most of the time. The image quality is good, versatile zoom range and it is weather protected. All important things for general photographing. I have som problems with AF. Some times the lens won't focus. I then have to zoom out, refocus and zoom back to focus again. It normally happens around 25mm. This is an excellent tourist lens to leave on the camera. When I are on assignment, I seldom use this lens. Then I uses other lenses for better sharpness, better dof, better aperture and so on depending on the assignment.

The focusing motors are virtually silent. This is not a fast lens, but the clarity is quite good.
