About this product

Product Information

For a lens that delivers much more than expected, the winner would be the Pentax SMC DA 18 mm - 55 mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Lens. The Pentax lens not only delivers, it has the quality of other lenses that reach upward toward the 84 mm range. This Pentax lens has great zoom and focus capabilities. Part of the success of the Pentax SMC DA is that although it is a “kit lens,” which is usually designed as cheaply as possible, Pentax decided to go with more quality than expected and has created a kit lens with the serious photographer in mind. This means that the Pentax lens has both manual and automatic options, not to mention a frontal element that is non-rotating. This allows the use of filters and is much more attractive to the more serious photographer than the usual elements of the average kit lens. Pentax has delivered a great product and has upped the quality on kits; the Pentax SMC DA is the proof that quality is always at the top of the photo shoot list.

    Good performance with a few limitations; excellent value for the money

    This was the kit lens packed with the first Pentax DSLR I bought new, the *istDL, some 13 years ago. I quickly sold the lens and bought a Pentax DA 16-45 for two reasons. The 18-55 suffers from barrel distortion at the edges of the image when at 18mm and wide apertures. And the 18-55 suffers from flare at wide apertures when the light source is close to the front of the lens. Today I shoot with a K-30 and a K-3 and fixed focal length, manual focus legacy glass exclusively. I bought a used 18-55 for those rare occasions when I need an ultra-wide angle indoor shot, made on a tripod with available light and at apertures of f8 or f11. The 18-55 does a fine job in such situations, and at less than 1/5 the cost of a dedicated 15mm DA lens (or of a legacy 21mm Takumar). Construction of the ...

    Pentax smc DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL offers good value

    In the midrange of its focal length, e.g. 35mm, and a medium f stop, this is a very sharp lens, rivaling anything that's available including expensive primes. Focus sharpness drops off noticeably at the long and short ends of the range. It isn't a fast lens so its best use is outdoors or with flash indoors. Construction is plastic but it feels solid. It is very light so it is nice lens to take on a hike. Note that if you are buying a used version that came with someone's kit it will not have a lens hood. You can buy an after market hood for a few bucks on ebay. You'll need a hood or a protective filter because the front element of the lens sits right at the end of the barrel just waiting to be scratched. If you get a used lens in excellent condition and play to its strengths it ...

    Good aps-c lens.

    More of a lens that you need if you want an affordable wide for your pentax. Other lenses are better and faster but this is a crop sensor lens, built to gove you 28-80mm regular length. Does exactly that. Handy footage scale on the large-ish manual focus ring. Probably the best 18-55mm user lens because of the metal mount, focus scale and anytime manual focus (no switch).

    Great lens!!

    This lens if great for portrait shooting indoors or out. It's lightweight and the zoom range 18-55 mm is just right. The pictures are sharp and you can use auto or manual focus. It's not the fastest in f stop range, but it does the job very nicely. Overall, I would recommend it for non professional shooters.

    Underrated lens for the money

    This is the first Af pentax lens I have purchased, but I own several Mf SMC Pentax lenses and have used the "kit lenses" for two other systems(Nikon and Sony). Construction is excellent. Pentax has a metal mount and real glass lenses. Sony has glass lenses and a plastic mount, Nikon uses plastic mount and polycarbonate lenses. The design is well thought out. The manual focus ring has a long throw and it is easy to acquire a sharp focus. Nikon and Sony have a short throw and are harder to use manually. It also focuses closer than the other kit lenses. The lens hood (included with the lens) is excellent and positively locks on to the lens. Nikon and Sony offer the hood as a purchasable accessory. It weighs about the same as the Sony, but heavier than the Nikon,(plastic lenses and mount). ...
