The lens arrived this morning and I took it for a walk around on the K3.
It looks to be excellent - very sharp, great colors, contrast and
detail. Even at f2.8 it holds up, though I expect the APS-C crop factor
is cropping out the softer parts of the full frame image. I also put it
on my Pz-1p and finished off a roll of film. I won't get around to
developing and scanning till later this weekend but I'm sure the lens is
a keeper.

This is the finest zoom lens money can buy cheap.
Compact light weight and brutally sharp.
You can surprise women by showing the pores on their face at 200% blow up.
I bought it for some $ 417 from B&H some 5-years ago brand new.
Older lens might need some AF adjustment, so do test it when you
receive it from KEH.
You will not regret you decision to buy this lens.
Do note the focal lengths on an APS-C camera is a bit odd - 42 to 112 mm.
It is great on a FF camera.
I also have the equally excellent Tamron 17-50 f2.8.
