Excellent value
For my first DSLR I bought this zoom for general shooting through recommendations from dpreview web site forums. It is not the most solid built zoom, but it does fine for wide angle to normal scenics at f8-f11.

Five decades and they are still at it
Pentax have always produced fine glass at a manageable price, and this lens is no exception. I own Pentax primes going back to the 1960s and have been spoiled by the wonderful qualities of those lenses; to the point where I--like other...

The Pentax 16-45mm f4 is a Keeper.
Ditto Dana G's review. I migrated from a pretty extensive Nikon film system, and have used all kinds of other brands of film camera equipment, either on assignment or as a community college photo instructor during the 70's and 80's. I tried a...

Great image quality for a reasonable price, with few "issues"
I have had this lens for almost a year, and taken hundreds of photographs with it. It is usually on my K10D with a circular polarizer. There are many "pros" and few "cons":

Clear and flexiable
I bought this lens instead of the 18-55 mm kit lens and I am very satified with that decision. The images are clear and the colors true. For normal picture you really don't see any distortion. I don't have a good prime lens to compare it to yet,...

Pentax Scores Again
This is a great lense for all around shooting whether snapshots, panorama's, or portrait. The fixed aperture boosts the consistency of camera performance over the range of it technical ability. The 16mm end of the range is great for shooting in...

One great piece of glass
I recently purchased a Pentax K10D. I didn't have any lenses specific for my digital camera, so I thought I would get something to go along with the camera. I looked at the kit lens and I looked at this lens. I opted for this lens because it looke

Old prime fanatic finally slips into the Zoom world
I was one of those holdouts that carried lots of prime lenses, disdaining zooms as "a compromise". No doubt, I missed some fine lenses because of this.

Excellent Lens
This lens is sharp, works very smoothly and has beautiful color. It's a first rate lens. I only wish it was just a tad bit longer - 16-60mm - that would be the equivalent of 24-90mm. As it is it is the equivalent of 24-67.5mm in 35mm terms.

Zoom Zoom
I replaced the kit 18-55mm lens with this one and I can honestly say that they have Nothing in common. The first thing that surprised me about this lens is its focusing ability. Images are very sharp and natural looking. This is my choice for a...
PROS: High Quality build Fast AF performance Sharp
