About this product

Product Information

For a lens that delivers much more than expected, the winner would be the Pentax SMC DA 18 mm - 55 mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Lens. The Pentax lens not only delivers, it has the quality of other lenses that reach upward toward the 84 mm range. This Pentax lens has great zoom and focus capabilities. Part of the success of the Pentax SMC DA is that although it is a “kit lens,” which is usually designed as cheaply as possible, Pentax decided to go with more quality than expected and has created a kit lens with the serious photographer in mind. This means that the Pentax lens has both manual and automatic options, not to mention a frontal element that is non-rotating. This allows the use of filters and is much more attractive to the more serious photographer than the usual elements of the average kit lens. Pentax has delivered a great product and has upped the quality on kits; the Pentax SMC DA is the proof that quality is always at the top of the photo shoot list.

    Arrived in very good condition, well packaged. Quality better than expected. Good value and appearance as expected. Took it to the local serious watch store for new battery, but they claimed faulty mechanism. This was an Omega dealer very knowledgeable. I decided to have a go at it, new battery, connected the AC (all clear) point to earth to reset the electronics, also heated it gently with a hair dryer, in case of residual moist. It woke up and is now working

    Good performance with a few limitations; excellent value for the money

    This was the kit lens packed with the first Pentax DSLR I bought new, the *istDL, some 13 years ago. I quickly sold the lens and bought a Pentax DA 16-45 for two reasons. The 18-55 suffers from barrel distortion at the edges of the image when at 18mm and wide apertures. And the 18-55 suffers from flare at wide apertures when the light source is close to the front of the lens. Today I shoot with a K-30 and a K-3 and fixed focal length, manual focus legacy glass exclusively. I bought a used 18-55 for those rare occasions when I need an ultra-wide angle indoor shot, made on a tripod with available light and at apertures of f8 or f11. The 18-55 does a fine job in such situations, and at less than 1/5 the cost of a dedicated 15mm DA lens (or of a legacy 21mm Takumar). Construction of the ...

  • Good aps-c lens.

    More of a lens that you need if you want an affordable wide for your pentax. Other lenses are better and faster but this is a crop sensor lens, built to gove you 28-80mm regular length. Does exactly that. Handy footage scale on the large-ish manual focus ring. Probably the best 18-55mm user lens because of the metal mount, focus scale and anytime manual focus (no switch).

  • Great lens!!

    This lens if great for portrait shooting indoors or out. It's lightweight and the zoom range 18-55 mm is just right. The pictures are sharp and you can use auto or manual focus. It's not the fastest in f stop range, but it does the job very nicely. Overall, I would recommend it for non professional shooters.

  • Pentax Lens for SLR cameras

    I have been a fan of Pentax cameras and lens for over 40 years. This 18-55mm lens does not disappoint. I bought is used on eBay. It works perfectly on a Pentax K-3 I recently bought. I like this lens a lot for shooting everyday, mostly landscape photos. It does an excellent job in low light situation. It being an auto focus lens it always does its job, giving good clean focus pictures both near and far away. This is my main lens.

  • Good kit lens for the price.

    I bought this lens to create a camera that I thought would be used by a person just starting out in photography. I have had all the version of this lens. In my opinion the DA 18-55mm II is just a little better in the area of sharpness than all other version of this lens, even the newer WR version. Pentax has produce a very good lens for their kit lens. The lens is pretty sharp when you stopped down to f/8. For the price in my opinion it would be hard to find a better kit lens as far as the built and optics in any brand of camera available.
