This could potentially be a very good lens, especially for people who want convenience. I really liked the Tamron ultra-zooms I sold back at the old camera shop, and I'll bet that with Pentax coatings and quality control, this lens will be a winner. I'll also bet it will help drive more dSLR sales, now that soccer moms won't have to carry around two lenses. Convenience is the name of the game for customers like that.
