Price Paid:  $130.00 from Ritz Camera

Summary:
When I bought this lens with the S-1 body, I didn't know much about photography and what to look for in equipment. This lens was horrible, definately not worth the price I paid($130). I wouldn't recommend buying this lens with the S-1; I would go with the 22-80, because it has manual focus, although I don't know much more about it. Bottom line, read the book on photogaphy before spending a lot of money on SLR equipment.

Strengths:
Light
Small

Weaknesses:
Slow
No Manual Focus
Hunts a lot
Odd Filter Size (40.5mm)
Narrow Zoom Range
