Digital camera reviews of Pentax DA 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 ED AL IF Lens for Pentax and Samsung Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: All purpose lens
Summary: 4 Stars
I own the kit lens with K100D and a Quantaray zoom for sports. Needed something to take portraits and have zoom capability. This one fits the bill and helps keep the sensor clean by not having to change out lenses.
Focus ring a little hard to turn and auto focus slightly noisy.
Solid feel and lock mechanism is handy. Will probably rate 5 once I have enough shots to compare.

Pentax DA 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 ED AL IF Lens for Pentax and Samsung Digital SLR Cameras
This is the ONE lens you need for almost all shooting - The Auto focus does not perform quite as well at the 250mm setting, however the 18mm angle to 200mm is so good we still give it FIVE stars - We highly recommend this lens for all around shooting. It will produce excellent picture quality and at an affordable price for amateur photo shooting - We paid $429.00 through Amazon from Willoughbly's for this lens - Pentax got this one just right!
Digital camera Review: Talked into Pentax and couldn't be happier!
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this lens one day before my sisters wedding. I had no time to take any practice shots because of how hectic things were. I couldn't have been happier with the results from this lens. I was able to capture across the room shots with limited lighting and no added flash with a few adjustments to the wight balance and f-stop. My family was more impressed with what I was able to capture than the paid photographer. For the money I don't think that any other lens on the market could perform this well. The only other lens I carry is the Pentax FA50 F1.4 which is with out a doubt the best lens possible for the Pentax camera.
I was actually talked into the Pentax at the store as I inquired about the Cannon and Nikon lines. The sales rep informed me of the cost savings in the Pentax line and I thought I would give it a shot. I am very pleased to have gone with Pentax and have taken several fantastic photos right from the start.
Digital camera Review: This is what I needed
Summary: 5 Stars
I now have a quality lens that I can use for just about all my photo shots. Nice not to have to change lenses for different photo compositions. Focus is fast and sharp. It is the lens I now keep on my K10D. Digital camera Review: Very Good Lens
Summary: 4 Stars
This lens covers a lot of territory (focal length) and after getting used to it could very easily become the main "walking around" lens to keep on your DSLR. I love the 14x optical zoom and it brings in things very close; the downside at full zoom is even with shake reduction on, you have to be rock steady holding the camera to get a blur free picture.
The only slight negative in my mind is that the zoom feature on this lens seems to be a tad loose and once you set it, if the lens is not horizontal, you may experience "zoom creep". There is a lock for the lens, but it is only engageable at 18mm; so I use the lock when the lens is on my camera and stowed in the bag.
Overall another winner for Pentax.
