Reasonably good lens.

I bought this lens recently and have used it for a few months and it's a reasonably good lens, really good for being a kit lens. It is pretty sharp, although it has some pin cushion/barrel distortion, albeit very minimal. No vignetting to speak of even with the lens hood attached.
