Period of use: 1 year

Strengths:

Good sharpness and contrast overall. Build is plastic but light.

Weaknesses:

None specific considering the cost.

Comments:

I am surprised the 18-70 gets a better review from some as i have compared them and find the 18-70 is week at the wide setting when used wide open. Softness is evident from about 1/3 out from centre to the edges. I foind the 18-55 better at the edges especially wide open.
