I used my Pentax 18-250 while touring the "Best of China" last March. I also had a Sony W-7 point and shoot that I used to record short video clips. I used the 18-250 to take closeups of some ceremic objects in the Shanghai Museum of Art. I bought the lens mainly for the wide-angle to tele, not for shooting macro images. Otherwise, it is a great lens for my purposes.
