3X zoom range coupled with excellent resolution at widest angle.

Somewhat large for a normal lens, but not heavy.

Extraordinarily poor image quality. Photos are always unsharp, no matter the aperture, lighting conditions, or tripod useage.

On the surface, this seems like a great lens. Low price, excellent range (20mm-60mm). It's too good to be true, though. This lens is HORRIBLE. I have no issues with build quality, AF speed or anything of that sort. It all comes down to image quality -- every shot I have taken with this lens is incredibly out of focus.

Lightweight, compact, fast.

Plastic mounting ring.

Bought only because of a great offer at Ritzcamera, together with the Pronea6i body and the 60-180mm telephoto for $425,-!!!
What I really don't like are these plastic, "cheap made" lens mounting rings, but mabe I'm wrong - time will show. At this price it's a deal you shouldn't miss.
