    Strength:

    Superb image sharpness, colour rendition and bokeh for a zoom. Power zoom is a useful feature and build quality is excellent.

    Weakness:

    This lens is heavy.

    Strength:

    Extremely sharp lens, even wide open. Rugged build with all metal barrel.

    Weakness:

    Heavy, but no more so than other comparable lenses from other manufacturers. Power zoom feature doesn't work on some Pentax bodies and can drain the batteries a lot on ones that have small batteries like the ZX-5n.

    Superbly sharp but tiring if not used on a tripod because of its weight.

    Strength:

    Excellent optics, very good surface finishing and the construction give me very solid feeling.

    Weakness:

    Slower AF compared with USM or AFS, price is a bit higher than similar class models.

    The sharpness and flare control are very good, but the AF is a bit slower and not possible for sport shoots, but still OK for taking portrait photos.
