At Smarter.com, we aim to ensure we give you the most sound buying advice possible. With our 'Cumulative Product Rating' system, in order for a product to receive a rating score, it must have a minimum number of ratings to qualify.

This system is not intended to diminish the value of products with a low number of ratings and reviews, they're great, and hopefully very helpful, but if you want our advice, we want to make sure that the product you're thinking of buying has been rated and reviewed by enough shoppers like you to be a valuable indicator of product quality.

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 23, 2008 Type: User Review Great lens

A great wide to standard zoom lens. It is fast, sharp, and has an extremely rugged build. It is definitely a large, heavy lens compared to the DA 18-55MM, for example. On the other hand, the weather sealing is evident and the focusing ring is...

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 28, 2008 Type: User Review EXCELLENT LENS TO OWN

Best walk around lens to own. With a K10D, you can have a weather proof combo for around $1,350. Where else can you find this kind of deal? If you add on a DA 50~135 with them, you can have an award winning camera with lenses range from 16~135...
