Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Good lens for K-7 This is a good lens for the K-7. Focus is good and fast enough for me. I have had the lens/camera for 4 days now and have taken 1300+ shots. Many of those were with this lens. Definitely worth the price! I posted some pics showing examples of wide and narrow shots. Fast shipping and excellent packaging! Rating: - Very nice lens! I bought this lens earlier this month with the K7 kit through Amazon. I have used the lens several times already at my sons football games. The lens coupled with the K7 takes very sharp jpegs with good color. It focuses very fast too. I've got some excellent action shots with this lens. The lens is also very compact and light considering its zoom capability. Rating: - Great lens Love it - took it to Yosemite and made some really nice images. Not too heavy, very easy to use.
