It's light, it's small, and it's remarkably good for the money. I didn't like the speed ... f/5.6 maximum aperture at 55mm is just that little bit too slow for my needs ... but it's a pretty good performer for the price point.
The FA20-35/4 AL does a better job for me, its almost a prime replacement in its focal length range, although it's quite a bit more expensive.
