keeping in mind that I am relatively new to photography..... I was very pleased with the quality of the 18-55 conmpared to what I read about what to expect from a kit lens. I also have the A24/2.8 which my (untrained?) eye cannot differentiate from the 18-55. Also (someone mentioned Canon), I ran into a Canon user somewhere who remarked that this lens was much better than the kit he got when he recently purchased a new body (I am not sure *how* he knew though). It is a bit slow, but it's also a bit more affordable than a 16-45, especially if you need to conserve funds for the 16-50.
