Pentax 55-300mm zoom lens
Strengths: Color, sharpness, price
Weakness: Not good in low light
I have used this lens for a few days on my K100D. I was really impressed by the sharpness. Nice and crisp from 55mm all the way up to 300mm.

very nice lens!
Strengths: zoom, built quality!
Weakness: kinda heavy, not a constant aperature
very nice lens for those extra far away objects! a must have for your lens collection! i just wish it was a constant aperature instead of f/5.8 at 300mm.
overall, you cant go wrong with pentax!

Great for the money
Strengths: Nice and sharp, good color balance.
Weakness: seems to have a little trouble focusing in low light, but I just got it, so I'm not so sure.
I just got this a day ago, and took a couple hundred pictures today, and sheesh, this is pretty great for 329 bucks. Nice and sharp through the whole range, though a little soft at the very extreme telephoto. But seriously, this kicks the butt of the old tamron zoom I had, which only went to 200.
