Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 18 users at B&H Photo Video

"I just love this lense! Sharp, exact focus on the k10 and superbly build. "

"I am very pleased with this lens so far. It is built well and shots are very clear. "

"It does not have very good resolution, so it is not a fit if you want to take crisp nature photo, also chromatic aberration is very apparent."
