Cons: Can not use polarizing or graduated filters due to the rotating front element. CA and some softness at the widest zoom angles. Mechanical construction is not sturdy at all. Can not carry more than two filters on the filter thread because the AF motor can not cope with the additional weight.
Pros: Optical quality is very good around the middle of the zoom range and pretty acceptable around the extremes. Very compact when collapsed for storage. Very light compared to other kit lenses. Good close focusing ability (~20cm).
Summary: Not bad for a kit lens. Pretty usable for everyday use. Very sharp when stopped down a bit.
