Cons: plastic mount, no lens hood, kinda slow, MF ring is loosey-goosey for my taste

Pros: good optics - the same as the full-fledged Pentax 18-55mm DA II. light, small

Summary: This is a "light" kit lens, included with the lower-end Pentax kits. Even though the body is primarily of plastic construction, it's a decent quality plastic
