Thought this was exceptional for a 'kit' lens - optically better than it has any right to be. At its aperture sweet-spot, I got better results than from (naming no names) some lenses several times the price. Sealed for weather-resistance. Great construction quality, remarkably compact and light. Been using it as a backup for go-to lenses, so it's had v. little use and is in not far from pristine condition.
£48. Pickup from Dunoon, Argyll, or happy to post (£3.59, Royal Mail 4. Any questions, please ask.
