Following on from Stefan's suggestion let's see some pictures people have taken with the standard 18-55mm Pentax lens.

Here's one I took earlier.

This is one I took last week

straight out of the camera, no PPing. Taken outside the Maritime Museum in Holyhead. Unashamed link http://www.holyheadmaritimemuseum.co.uk/.

I had thought of entering this in last week's competition until I reread the title - I thought it said "Made of Metal"

Taken with the FA J 18-35mm F4-5.6 AL (kit lens of the *istD)

It is one of three shots with this lens that made it in to the PPG. So I am proud to say that 1/6 of all shots with this lens in PPG are mine.

Peter, I just love that shot!

Nice ones so far, even if Prienei is cheating just a bit

Lets see more and prove these maligned lenses aren't that bad really.

Ooops
I didn't read the 18-55 bit in your original post. Just thought that general 'kit lens' was required. As I don't have any 18-55 this is as close as it gets (and I think it can be said that the 18-35 isn't better than any of the 18-55).
BTW: Which one is 'the' standard 18-55, Mk I or Mk II?

Ralf, I think the Mk. 11 18-55 is now the standard "kit" lens. I cannot now recall why they changed it as every review of the Mk. 1 lens was favourable.... "for the price".

The Mk.1 that I have needs to be stopped down for sharpness and to avoid vignetting, so I used it on f8 almost exclusively for the Sissinghurst series. It was a fine day so that was not a problem light-wise , and I am very pleased with the results.

I got annoyed on another forum a while back with someone who had bought a "kit" and before having posted any photos was describing the 18-55 as "crap". What nonsense.

It was changed to increase the resolution to match the 14.6MP sensor of the K20D.

Everybody raves about the 16-45 but I think these are as good as any of the Pentax lenses how sharp is sharp and how sharp do you want these will do for me

I was hoping for Standard 18-55 pics, meaning all three( Mk1, Mk2 and the new Lfrom the K-m) If the earlier *ist's had 18-35 lenses then what the heck, post some pictures!

As for the 16-45s, they tend to be an expensive extra as far as this thread is concerned.

Love the fire engine Tony-O, good perspective and use of cardboard!

Here's another quick snap from my standard lens.
