Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 35 users at B&H Photo Video

"It was already an excellent buy, but the rebate made it even more terrific. It will be my "all-in-one" lens on my Pentax K-x, as its range from 27mm to 300mm is all I need."

"The variable zoom is so versatile, it has become the only lens we carry."

"The major problem I had with the lens is that it wouldn't lock into position when I was trying to use the autofocus and the shutter wouldn't depress."
