It is very good for the price. The range is great for everyday use, and it focuses fairly fast. IQ is very good too. The only sore point is the fact that it is not a constant aperture lens.

Its a very capable lens, Its on my camera 85% of the time! Take a look at my - flickr photostream for the 17-70mm
The only bad point I have for it is that I wish it was weather sealed like the Pentax 16-50, It also has a 72mm filter thread, so filters tend to be a little more expensive that kitlens filters - the macro feature is also nothing to shout about, its more 'super close focus' than macro.
